Kay's Gallery:   Black-breasted Button-quail (1/3)

CHARADRIIFORMES: Turnicidae

Turnix melanogaster  

With the assistance of fellow Bushpean Geoff, I was very pleased to be able to photograph this elusive species. An exhausting experience having flown to Qld late at night, getting only four hours sleep before travelling for three hours before the search began. A sixteen hour day left us very tired but happy!
