| Sun 15 | | Little Buttonquail
Greater bendigo National Park - Butler’s Dam (Whipstick) |
|
| Initially saw moving through long grass on side of road. Presence of mallee close by gave it very little cover to escape to. Hence it stayed until I was very close then it walked away cautiously giving good views before sitting still for another minute or two. Small Buttonquail. Sandy colour to top and chest.. Bluish bill. Pale eye. Fabulous record for Greater Bendigo. IPhone photo only. eBird checklist |
