		Because of the rains, the shooting for yellow-throated sandgrouse -- the largest of the sandgrouse species -- was poor as the birds no longer concentrated at their traditional watering hole.
		We did enjoy very good guinea and spurfowl shooting, though even some of those birds had dispersed and initially proved challenging for the beaters.

		All 26 of the endemic bird species were seen, the majority very well indeed, although admittedly the Sri Lanka Spurfowl kept us on tender-hooks for quite a while until we had the briefest of views.
		At times the birds were calling close to us but apart from wraith-like shadows moving between tree trunks we had hardly a glimpse, but luckily we were all looking in the same direction as the female flew back across the river.

		The 2004/2005 southern African rainy season (Nov-March) during which our guineafowl, spurfowl and francolin breed, is now almost over and the first sightings of young birds have been reported from several of our estates in South Africa and Zambia.
		The spurfowl and francolin, on the other hand, have done rather well out of the late rains and show promise for further good numbers of chicks appearing in the months ahead.
		Our 3 species of sandgrouse are scattered about all over the sub continent at this time (which is actually where they should be!), with just the Spotted (Burchell’s) Sandgrouse putting in an early (for them) breeding in January.

		Our tour ranges from the beautiful forests of Goa, to the submontane rain forests and montane forests of the Western Ghats of S.W. India, the thorn scrub of Tamil Nadu, and to the tropical rain forests of the Andaman Islands.
		Much of the habitat in southern India has been destroyed by the press of its many millions of people, eliminating most birding near cities with airports.
		Other species are: Short-toed Eagle, Peregrine Falcon, Painted Spurfowl, Barred Buttonquail, Blue-faced Malkoha, Indian Bushlark, Yellow-eyed and Yellow-billed Babblers, Jungle Prinia, and Long-billed Sunbird.

	Pheasants & allies
		Although I have traveled a fair bit in Asia and Africa, my personal encounters with members of this family are pitifully few: just 7 pheasants (just 9%) and 25 partridges (24%).
		Most of the latter are African francolins like this Yellow-necked Spurfowl (left), shown here with a half-grown chick.
		Also included in the partridge subfamily are Old World quail, snowcocks, and spurfowl.
