hey folks
as i was walking home today through the betty
archdale walkway in Wahroonga,(10 mins from sydney)
I noticed a currawong feeding on what looked like a
bird and when i got closer i noticed it was a quail of some sort.
When i pcked it up it was quite warm, it had no leg
bands but a nasty gash on the head.
I looked through the books and found it could
either be a little button quail or a red chested button
quail.
the red is mainly just around the neck and on the
rump, but it is more of a buff colour than a red.
It is not a painted button quail for it has no
spots and i am very familliar with them.
The habitat is suitable for a quail like species
with lots of hedges etc.
Could any one give me some
help!
