The following is a digest of Sightings Reported on Birdpedia for the period Monday, May 5, 2014 to Sunday, May 11, 2014: Area: SA Location: On our property at Rockleigh Stubble Quail (Coturnix pectoralis) (2) Eurasian Skylark (Alauda arvensis) (1) Australian Pipit (Anthus australis) (1) Pipits have occasionally been seen since the mid-January fire, but stubble quail and skylarks have taken a long holiday. The skylark was up in the sky singing just as before. We still have no habitat you would think quails, skylarks and pipits would choose, just clumps of native grasses all of 5cm high with big gaps between, but the wanderers have come home. A Red-Letter day indeed.
