In what can be termed a very rare sighting, wildlife photographer Seema Tania and environmentalist and naturalist Sunjoy Monga spotted a grey francolin in Navi Mumbai.
The grey francolin (Francolinus pondicerianus) belongs to the pheasant family or Phasianidae. This large group of heavy-built, ground-living birds includes junglefowl, turkeys, chickens, quails, and of course, our national bird, the peacock.
