Hi all.
Regarding recent postings of Painted Button-Quail
in suburban Sydney , I have recorded these birds on two occasions in June 1998
at Red Hill in the suburb of Beacon Hill on Sydney's northern beaches. The
first sighting was of 8 to 10 birds and the second a couple of weeks later was
of one bird and several platelets.

a Painted Button-Quail sighted crossing a road (Reginald Street) in Mosman NSW
yesterday at about 4:55pm ! First time I've seen this species so close to the
harbour - anybody else seen this species on the lower north
shore.....?
