Spotted
The Sand Partridge is a small, agile game bird perfectly adapted to the desert and semi-desert environments of the Middle East and parts of Northeast Africa. Its sandy coloration allows it to blend seamlessly with its dry habitat.
Where to spot
Inhabits arid desert plains, rocky wadis, and stony hillsides across the Arabian Peninsula, Levant, and parts of Northeast Africa.
How to spot
Look for them foraging along tracks or near sparse vegetation in rocky desert areas. Their flight is rapid and direct, often accompanied by a whirring sound.
When to spot
Best observed during the cooler hours of the day, at dawn and dusk, when they venture out to feed.

Sand Partridges are remarkably resilient, able to survive in extremely arid conditions, often obtaining most of their water needs from the food they consume, negating the need for open water sources.
