Grey-winged Francolin

Hosts on Spekboom have recorded the Grey-winged Francolin at stays in or beside Cederberg Wilderness Area, Anysberg Nature Reserve, Gamkaberg Nature Reserve, Rocherpan Nature Reserve, Table Mountain National Park and De Hoop Nature Reserve and other reserves. A record means a host has seen it on the property or nearby, which makes these the places to base yourself; it is never a guarantee of a sighting on any given day.

The Grey-winged Francolin is most recorded in Western Cape (67% of records), Eastern Cape (12% of records), Northern Cape (8% of records), based on 492 iNaturalist observations. 51 places to stay on Spekboom in Western Cape have recorded the Grey-winged Francolin on site or nearby.

The Grey-winged Francolin is recorded throughout the year, so no month is the wrong month to look for it. For the parks where hosts record it most, these are the best seasons they give. Cederberg Wilderness Area: Sep-Apr, flowers Aug-Oct; Anysberg Nature Reserve: Autumn and spring, Mar-May, Sep-Nov; Gamkaberg Nature Reserve: Autumn and spring, Mar-May, Sep-Nov; Rocherpan Nature Reserve: Winter and spring for birds and flowers, Jun-Oct. In the dry months animals concentrate at water and the grass is short.

The grey-winged francolin (Scleroptila afra) is a species of bird in the family Phasianidae. It is found in Lesotho and South Africa.
