    Like most quails, these are usually a devil to see, between their incredible camouflage and skulking habits. But, in the dry season, with the pretty open understorey, and the quite loud sounds they make while foraging in the dead leaves, they become a lot easier to track down! Posted 7 years ago

      Thanks! I snapped quite a few photos of them, as when they are absorbed by their feeding, you can get quite close, and this is my favorite. Posted 7 years ago
