On 20/1/07 I was birding the area behind the telegraph station and in
getting a good luck at female brown songlark I came up slowly to base
of acacia bush. Fortunately there were a pair of little button quail
who didn't realise that I was there and I was able to observe them at
close range feeding. The female had beautiful pink blush and a black
line near her ear. What was intriguing though was the way of
walking of the quail. They rocked forward in a manner as if there
feet were glued to the ground and after a number of times of this
they would then take a step. The same would occur when they were
reaching out to feed on some vegetation-the head would rock towards
it in the glued feet manner before finally taking a piece of
vegetaiton in the beak. I stood motionless and the quails
constantly checked out both sides of the bush, seemingly for danger.
A very fortunate interlude!
