The Ring-necked Francolin is a distinct francolin species found in specific highland grasslands of East Africa, characterized by its subtle ringed neck pattern. It's a shy bird often found in open, grassy areas with scattered bushes.
Where to spot
Found in East Africa, specifically in highland grasslands and open montane savannas with some scattered cover.
How to spot
Listen for their calls, which can help pinpoint their location. They are often seen foraging in the open but quickly disappear into cover when disturbed. Scanning open grassy areas with binoculars can be effective, combined with a patient approach.
When to spot
Best observed during the cooler parts of the day, early morning and late afternoon, when they are more likely to be foraging in the open.
