GREY FRANCOLIN ( FRANCOLINUS PONDICERIANUS)

Name: Grey Francolin (Francolinus pondicerianus)
Place:  Al Mamzar Park, Creek park DUBAI
Taken: December 2013
I found many of these birds mostly in pairs in different parks of Dubai. They are also known as teetar because of their loud sound, which sound like Ka-tee-tar...tee-tar. They are bad flier but good runner. I saw them flying only once for a short distance, when unintentionally I got very close to a small tree where two Grey Francolin were resting.
