Red-necked Spurfowl: Lake Mburo National Park, Uganda, August 2022 — We were walking. The Spurfowl was walking. Our path’s crossed…much to our delight…but I don’t think the Red-necked Spurfowl was all that impressed. 🙂 Relatively common in Southern Uganda and the southern half of East Africa. It only comes up into Kenya along the Ugandan border and up the coast. It has a strange distribution in Southern Africa as well, all the way down to the cape. It is also found in a strange set of habitats: savanna, forest edge, cultivated fields, etc. And there is a good deal of geographic variation in the plumage…but always with the bare red throat.
