Today I got my internet access back after 8 days in darkness and silence.

On Thursday I walked up my driveway in Turner opposite the ANU - and surprised a Painted Button-quail foraging among the native grass clumps and debris. I didn't push it too hard for fear of scaring it onto Barry Drive. On Friday I found it up at the back yard compost heap; it flew typically down the yard and found more shelter. Since then I've been away working for the weekend.

Of the two events, I have a firm view of which was the more unlikely....

To those to whom I owe emails, my apologies and I crave your patience.

cheers

Ian
