My eagle-eyed wife spotted what she thought was a quail foraging under the azaleas outside our bedroom window this morning.  Mad scramble for binos followed, the forager turning out to be a solitary Painted Button-quail. The last time I saw one of those it was on Mt Ainslie, so I'm at a loss to explain how one has ended up in a garden in Florey.
According to Philip's GBS report, there had been no records of PBQs in the Garden Bird Survey at the time the report was published. Well, now there's one.
