Spotted
The White-throated Francolin is a relatively small and elusive francolin species found in West and Central Africa, characterized by its distinctive white throat patch. It prefers dense, often moist, grassy habitats.
Where to spot
Found in West and Central Africa, typically in moist grasslands, savannas, and cultivated areas with tall vegetation, often near water bodies.
How to spot
Listen for its calls, which are the most reliable way to detect its presence in its dense habitat. Walk slowly and quietly along trails or edges of dense grass, hoping to flush one, though it will likely disappear quickly.
When to spot
Most active and vocal during the early morning and late afternoon. It can be particularly challenging to spot outside of these times due to its secretive nature.

The White-throated Francolin's specific habitat preference for dense, rank grasslands or reedy areas makes it particularly difficult to observe visually, often only revealing its presence through its vocalizations.
