This is a Red-legged Partridge not a Chukar. The Chukar is a native of southern Eurasia, in Israel, Turkey, Afghanistan, India, Pakistan along the inner ranges of the Western Himalayas to Nepal. Further west in south-eastern Europe it is replaced by the Red-legged Partridge, Alectoris rufa. The Chukar was introduced into the United States from Pakistan to be a game bird. It lives in arid, rocky terrain across the western United States and southern Canada

Good to see these lovely birds on here.

Went to the RSPB Reserve in Dungeness a couple of weeks ago and saw a pair of them. First time I had ever seen them. Still haven't seen a Grey Partridge (yet!)
