A wonderful find indeed! I recall many years ago (about 1982 in fact)
seeing a pair at Mt Nebo, Nr Brisbane. But I looked for them many times
after the initial sighting without success, perhaps they are less
resident than the literature suggests? Are they still present at Crows
Nest in QLD? This used to be my favorite spot for these wonderful birds.

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.
