🐔Grey Partridge

Perdix perdix (Linnaeus, 1758)

Rapphöna (Perdix perdix) är en fågel inom familjen fasanfåglar. Den förekommer naturligt i stora delar av Europa och västra Asien. Arten har av jaktintresse introducerats till Nordamerika där den etablerat frilevande bestånd. Rapphönan minskar i antal till följd av jordbrukets omvandling, men beståndet anses ändå vara livskraftigt globalt.
