 Dear Everybody (this is the first time have submitted, so i
hope it works!) 
  
In mid january this year, i was birdwatching at a place called
Mt Nardi in the Nightcap Ranges, not far from Nimbin in far north-eastern NSW.
While there I saw what I was pretty sure was a covey of Black-breasted Button
Quail. Being fairly secretive, i wasn't able to get very good views of them,
though I did hear a sound which I am sure was the female calling (It matched all
the field-guides descriptions, and I don't know of a pigeon that has a similar
call anyway). I was curious if anyone else has seen them around there, and if
so, under what circumstances.  
  
Thanks
