Oh no I've discovered button quails and I fear this is the end for me ;_; They're so so so so cute.

So I guess that's another birb on the list of "types of birds I want to have as pets when I can have a small backyard farm"

I love the light in this photo out in Warrah Ridge, New South Wales.

We saw Red-chested Button-quail out there along the road. The clouds were stunning but it never did storm. This story is told in Chapter 25 of my new book, "More Australian Birding Tales" which is now available worldwide. So is my first book, "An Australian Birding Year," both are published by John Beaufoy Publishing, Oxford England
