Observation details
Stubble Quail female (presumably a wild bird) 'dropped from the sky' from heat exhaustion during the sweltering 40deg+ temperatures at around 3pm. On the tarmac at terminal 3, near the Qantas service hangars. Bird was probably still alive but well beyond help unfortunately. Not really any suitable habitat nearby. Though I recall there was a report of a live bird several years ago, out on the airfield at night.
