Red-necked Spurfowl

Hosts on Spekboom have recorded the Red-necked Spurfowl at stays in or beside Goukamma Nature Reserve, Kwandwe Private Game Reserve, Grootvadersbosch Nature Reserve, Garden Route National Park, Keurbooms River Nature Reserve and Robberg 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 Red-necked Spurfowl is most recorded in Eastern Cape (58% of records), Western Cape (32% of records), KwaZulu-Natal (9% of records), based on 738 iNaturalist observations. 22 places to stay on Spekboom in South Africa have recorded the Red-necked Spurfowl on site or nearby.

The Red-necked Spurfowl 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. Goukamma Nature Reserve: year-round, warm Oct-Apr; Kwandwe Private Game Reserve: year-round, best Mar-May, Sep-Nov; Grootvadersbosch Nature Reserve: Sep-Apr, flowers Aug-Oct; Garden Route National Park: Sep-Apr, flowers Aug-Oct. In the dry months animals concentrate at water and the grass is short.

The red-necked spurfowl or red-necked francolin (Pternistis afer), is a gamebird in the pheasant family Phasianidae of the order Galliformes, gallinaceous birds.
