Hi,
On a recent visit to the Hunter Valley I was walking through a property near Cardiff and flushed a pair of quail from long dry grass and bracken. The call in flight was a chatter which sounded a little bit like a parrot and the birds looked like Button quail in flight but the view was very brief and I didn't see them on the ground. Can anyone tell me if Red-chested Button Quail have been seen in the Hunter and if these sound like RCBQ?
Nick
PS: I played a tape of the RCBQ booming call to the owners of the property and they said they have been hearing similar calls since my visit.
