Subject: City quail
An unsual sighting this morning at work.
Upon arriving in my work carpark a Painted Button Quail raced across the
concrete in front of me. The closest I've seen them to the city is at Chiltern
Box-Ironbark National Park in north-east Victoria where they are relatively
common.
Has anyone recorded native quail this close to their city centre before?
