Spotted
The Jungle Bush Quail is a small, secretive gamebird native to the Indian subcontinent. It is primarily found in scrublands, grasslands, and forest edges.
Where to spot
Found in dry grasslands, scrub jungle, open forests, and cultivated fields across India, Nepal, Bangladesh, and Sri Lanka.
How to spot
They are difficult to spot due to their cryptic plumage and secretive nature. Listen for their distinctive, repetitive 'whit-whit-whit' or 'pe-wit' calls, especially during the breeding season. Walk slowly and quietly through suitable habitat.
When to spot
Best seen at dawn or dusk when they emerge to feed. They are generally more active during the cooler parts of the day.

Despite its common name, the Jungle Bush Quail typically prefers dry, open scrub and cultivations rather than dense, humid jungle environments.
