==Distribution and habitat== This [[partridge]] breeds naturally in southwestern Europe ([[France]], [[Iberian Peninsula|Iberia]] and northwest [[Italy]]).<ref name="iucn status 19 November 2021" /> It has become naturalised in flat areas of [[England]] and [[Wales]], where it was introduced as a game species, and has been seen breeding as far north as [[Sutherland]]. It is replaced in southeastern Europe by the very similar [[rock partridge]] (''Alectoris graeca''). It is a [[bird migration|non-migratory]] terrestrial species, which forms flocks outside the breeding season. This species breeds on dry lowlands, such as farmland and open stony areas, laying its eggs in a ground nest. They have been known to cohabit with wild rabbits.
