Hi All
 
On the side of Lake Ginninderra not far from the dam wall this morning (09/05/05)
earlyish (0800hrs) I saw seven quail which i presumed were stubble quail.
Here is one.
 
Based on a statement in Slater and the direction of the breast markings
i changed my identification to brown quail.
 
Can someone offer an authorative opinion ?
