I've seen Stubble Quail in Royal Park, Parkville before (ok, so different order, but close enough)

    An unsual sighting this morning at work.

    Upon arriving in my work carpark a Painted Button Quail raced across the
    concrete in front of me.  The closest I've seen them to the city is at Chiltern
    Box-Ironbark National Park in north-east Victoria where they are relatively
    common.

    Has anyone recorded native quail this close to their city centre before?
