Alectoris chukar is a game bird common in Middle East countries.
In Greece, it can be found on remote and rugged rocky areas
in most parts of the country but not in NE Greece.
I have come upon them only twice; on rocks near Sounio
and on Mt. Hymittos where they seemed to be enjoying food
they were provided by humans!
The Chukar is the national bird of Pakistan and Iraq.
This picture was taken near Cape Sounio.
