Hello Everyone-
I forgot one bird I thought I should have mentioned in my previous report- I had a Brown Quail on the Valley of the Winds trail, at Kata Tjuta where it begins the circular portion. I thought it was going to be a Stubble Quail, but it was mostly dark brown, strongly barred underneath (not streaked) and ran with it’s neck outstreatched. It isn’t shown on the range maps I have access to, so am not sure how often it occurs at Kata Tjuta.
Thanks, Alan

All,
I saw a group of at least 7 in the East MacDonnell Ranges in early September
The rains have moved a lot of birds around, so don’t be suprised to see many birds “out of range”
cheers

The map in Pizzey and Knight shows it extending down to just south of there, and says “may extend well inland after good rains.”
