Good to see that this locally uncommon species still exists on Red Hill, where it is known to breed

Wow great record, don't worry about photo quality - nice photos are nice, but the verifiable record is more valuable. :-)
I did see a quail multiple times below the restaurant in 2016 but never managed a photo.
