This evening I went for a walk along the very overgrown track through the Grasslands running south from the end of Bollard Street Palmerston.

Within 100 metres of the start I had flushed a single Brown Quail, and 200 metres further on a single Stubble Quail! Nice comparison between the two.

Also seen were Skylark and Australian Pipit, but the grassland probably hasn't been this lush and tall for decades, so pretty difficult to see anything ground-dwelling that doesn't fly!
