The Red-billed Spurfowl is a robust, grey-brown ground bird characterized by its bright red bill and legs. It is a common and widespread resident of arid and semi-arid regions across Southern Africa.
Where to spot
Commonly found in arid savannas, thornbush, riverine thickets, and dry scrubland throughout Southern Africa, including Namibia, Botswana, and South Africa.
How to spot
Look for them foraging on the ground near dense cover. Their distinctive red bill and loud call are key identification features, often heard before the bird is seen.
When to spot
Most active during the cooler parts of the day, especially early morning and late afternoon, when foraging.
