A covey of quail
Quail are very hard to see in the paddock. Usually, it's just an explosion of feathers flapping out of the grass ... and I often squeal and run away.
But finally, here is a photo of a Brown Quail - there are plenty about this year. Also, from Raakajlim in the northern Mallee - a Little Button Quail, a typical view of a Stubble Quail fleeing the scene, and a very sad photo of a Painted Button Quail that we think crashed into something whilst flying at night. Now … just need to find a Plains Wanderer …
