There seems to have been quite a few reports of PBQs this year but I
don't know whether this means they have become more or less uncommon. It
may be that folk have focussed on them a bit more. Sightings that I am
aware of have come from: Mulligan's Flat NR (several), Gungahlin Hill
NR, Black Mountain NR (several), and Coolemon Ridge.
Did you spot platelets as well?

I have been overseas for 6 months but since my return 3 weeks ago I
have twice flushed single Painted Button-Quails in the woodland on
Stirling Ridge, Yarralumla. These are the first sightings for at least
the last 3 years. I believe they breed irregularly there; some
summers, I have had repeated sightings and other summers, none. There
are many foxes in the area, and no doubt feral cats.
