The Chestnut-headed Partridge is a beautiful and localized partridge species found in the isolated mountain ranges of Southeast Asia. It is known for its chestnut crown and face, contrasting with its intricately patterned body plumage.
Where to spot
Inhabits dense evergreen and broadleaf forests in montane regions of Southeast Asia, specifically the Cardamom and Elephant Mountains of southwestern Cambodia and southeastern Thailand.
How to spot
Extremely secretive and often detected primarily by its characteristic calls, which are a series of whistled notes. Requires patience and quiet movement in dense forest undergrowth, looking for subtle movements.
When to spot
Most active and vocal at dawn and dusk. Can be observed year-round, but vocalizations aid detection during the breeding season.
