Vik, Geoff, my daughter Nikki and I spent a couple of days looking for Chestnut-breasted Quail-thrushes at Bowra and towards the end of the second day, almost by accident, I fluked this photo from a great distance.

Not even sure it was a Quail-thrush I neglected to mention its location to the others until I showed them this terrible shot that evening.

Needless to say they all berated me severely for not letting them know about it at the time. Oh well.

Anyway as you can see the next day Vik (and Nikki) almost ran over some Quail-thrush and got far better photos than this one. Well done Vik.
