This is another first for me in terms of species. This species unlike many other species of quail will only flush if they realy have to. They will sit tight even when you are standing next to them and they blend in so well that they can be hard to see even when they are right in front of you. If they do move it will be a short run to cover and sit tight again. This guy stopped for a second and then disapeared into grass - I only got this one clear shot out of 30 attempts.
Thanks Tom
