John. That's not fair. I had to drive from Brisbane to Inskip Point to get
them on my list! (And, I've been to Enoggera Dam several times). Well done!

Hello. I stand by my id on black breasted button quail 100% The area i found
them in had been lightly burnt through but was still very thick with vine
cover. I saw three birds in total, two i assume were males and one female. I
watched the two i assume were males spinning around in circles scratching in
the undergrowth for some time wondering about the black showing on their
breast and under belly. After about ten minutes a female stunned me by
walking into view showing the unmistakable jet black head and mottled black
and white breast. All three birds had pale eyes. I watched them all for
quite some time and regardless of how unlikely this sighting apparently is i
plan to tick them as i got a fantastic look at all three birds. I am a mad
keen birder who spends many hours on weekends and before work birding and
many hours at home studying birds. With that i am happy to say that this
morning, Saturday the 14th of June there were three black-breasted
button-quail sighted at the Enoggera dam Brisbane Queensland.
