Spotted
Clapperton's Spurfowl is a widespread species inhabiting savannas and dry woodlands across a broad band of West and Central Africa. It is characterized by its pale, streaky plumage and a reddish patch around the eye.
Where to spot
Found in dry savannas, open woodlands, rocky hillsides, and cultivated areas across West and Central Africa, from Senegal to Sudan and Ethiopia.
How to spot
Listen for its diagnostic call, which is often the first sign of its presence. Scan the ground near cover or along tracks, as they often cross open areas.
When to spot
Active throughout the day, but particularly vocal in the early morning and late afternoon, often calling from prominent positions.

This spurfowl is known for its distinctive and far-carrying call, a rapid series of clucking notes that accelerates into a loud, characteristic cackle.
