The Blue Quail, also known as Adanson's Quail, is a small, vibrant quail native to Africa. It is characterized by the striking blue-grey plumage of the males.
Where to spot
Typically found in sub-Saharan Africa, inhabiting grasslands, savannas, and cultivated fields, often near water sources.
How to spot
Look for movement in dense ground cover. They are small and shy, often difficult to spot, so listening for their distinctive calls can be key to locating them.
When to spot
Best observed during the early morning or late afternoon, particularly during the breeding season when males are most vocal.
Male Blue Quails exhibit a unique and vibrant blue-grey feathering, a rare and beautiful coloration among quail species.
