Animals and Vegetation in East Africa - Amboseli Kenya 2014 - A francolin stands upright on a dark rock in open dry grassland. It has mottled brown feathers that blend into the pale ground, a light face with a small red patch near the eye, and a short curved beak. The bird looks alert as it scans the quiet open area. Francolins are ground-dwelling birds that feed mainly on seeds, shoots, and insects, and they often run for cover rather than fly when disturbed. Species common name: Francolin Family: Phasianidae Scientific name: Francolinus sp.
