Painted Buttonquail, Melbourne

["Simon Mustoe" <>]

Auscetnetters,

Whilst birding this morning in Lysterfield Park, just south of Birdsland I 
found a male Painted Buttonquail. It was initially calling and confusing me 
as the habitat is not great. It is quite grassy - the recent rainfall has 
promoted a lot of extra growth so there are no bare open areas with leaf 
litter. I was wondering whether I was overlooking something else obvious and 
just as I decided to move on flushed it virtually from my feet. It went to 
cover and I flushed it again, getting reasonable on the deck views.
