Thanks John.
It always helps to include that sort of detail when reporting unusual
sightings, as people will invariably ask for clarification.
The QPWS may be interested in the sighting, but I couldn't find a
general email address / contact point for people to report wildlife
sightings on the EPA website. Perhaps you could forward a note to
Regards, Laurie.

Hello. I stand by my id on black breasted button quail 100% The area
i found them in had been lightly burnt through but was still very
thick with vine cover. I saw three birds in total, two i assume were
males and one female. I watched the two i assume were males spinning
around in circles scratching in the undergrowth for some time
wondering about the black showing on their breast and under belly.
After about ten minutes a female stunned me by walking into view
showing the unmistakable jet black head and mottled black and white
breast. All three birds had pale eyes. I watched them all for quite
some time and regardless of how unlikely this sighting apparently is
i plan to tick them as i got a fantastic look at all three birds. I
am a mad keen birder who spends many hours on weekends and before
work birding and many hours at home studying birds. With that i am
happy to say that this morning, Saturday the 14th of June there were
three black-breasted button-quail sighted at the Enoggera dam
Brisbane Queensland.
