Francolins and spurfowl

Found throughout the Park all year round. Coqui is much less common than the others.
All fairly hard to see and photograph! Often seen crossing roads but rapidly vanish into the undergrowth. Occasionally seen on a perch. But all have loud calls which are frequently heard.
All were called francolins but the Natal and Swainson's are now called spurfowl.
