Fortunately, this species does not occur exclusively on Fuerteventura, so it is more likely to enrich or to modernize presented gallery. When I dealt with the Barbary Partridge the situation was similar to that with the Courser, with the difference that I was able to take pictures of partridges, as far as coursers are concerned I took only one photo and of poor quality. Well, this gallery is not created. Barbary partridges appeared for a moment, and as in case of all birds living all around desert of Fuerteventura they were very skittish. They could be seen there on top of the hill and after a while hid behind. A pity, because it's a pretty representative of Galliformes. Its weight does not exceed half a kilogram and the wingspan is less than half a meter. This species is artificially introduced on the Island. Its natural habitat is the northern Africa.
