The Japanese Quail is a small, migratory ground-dwelling bird native to East Asia. It is well-known for its distinctive calls and is the wild ancestor of domestic quail.
Where to spot
Native to East Asia, including Japan, Korea, China, and parts of Russia. Migratory populations move south for winter.
How to spot
Listen for the male's loud, rhythmic 'whit-whit-whit' call emanating from dense grassy areas. They are secretive and tend to flush quickly when disturbed.
When to spot
During the breeding season (spring/summer) in their northern range, or during migration periods. Early mornings are best for hearing their calls.
