The Rain Quail is a small, elusive quail native to the Indian subcontinent. It is strongly associated with the monsoon rains, during which it becomes most active.
Where to spot
Found across the Indian subcontinent, including India, Pakistan, Nepal, and Bangladesh. Inhabits grasslands, cultivated fields, and open scrub.
How to spot
Listen intently for the male's distinctive 'whit-whit-whit' call, especially after rainfall. Their cryptic plumage and secretive nature make them challenging to spot visually.
When to spot
Primarily observable during the monsoon season (summer/rainy season) when they are most active and vocal. Early mornings are often best.
