The Yellow-necked Spurfowl is a common and widespread species in East Africa, easily identified by its bright yellow neck patch and bare red skin around the eye. It is highly vocal.
Where to spot
Found in savannas, acacia woodlands, grasslands, and cultivated areas across East Africa, from Ethiopia to Tanzania.
How to spot

When to spot
Frequently seen foraging during the cooler parts of the day, especially early morning and late afternoon, when they are most active.
