I came past around 6pm and saw what I assume was the same group of quail
under the bushes opposite the railway tracks, about 20m from their west
end. I've had glimpses of them under there before but this time they
were right at the edge and I saw them all running further in.
It would seem that they might be living under there, so it's worth
watching the edge of the bushes as you walk in and out from the pond.
