I'm Not a Tui!

Yesterday at Hamilton gardens, I was stalking what I thought might be a Tui. No it was a quail. I have actually never seen a quail in a tree before. Often see them scurrying away into the undergrowth, but this one, was dining out on a magnolia tree.

This is a fav for getting so close to a quail - they always scuttle away so fast when I come near! Quite amazing face!
