I have seen this near Goodmans Ford, some 100 Km W of Wollongong, while
overlooking a large grassy river flat a flock of about 6 birds flew
across to the other side of the area without being flushed, chattering
away as they flew. The flock must stick together when moving from one
feeding area to another as numbers often just appear in a good area then
disappear just as suddenly. I wonder if they do large distances at night

Hi All,
Was out earlier tonight at Kedron Brook Wetlands near the Brisbane
Airport,
and observed some very strange quail behaviour. Has anyone on the
list seen
Brown Quail take off together, fly as a tight flock, and land together
before? I'm used to having them scatter in all directions, so this stood
out quite strongly. Also they were making odd chattering calls, another
thing I've never heard Brown Quail do in flight (and I've never heard
them
make that particular call before).
Regards,
Chris
ps. a couple of Grass Owls made an appearance once the sun had fully
set, as
did several million mozzies.
