Media notes

At first, King Quail snoring call is heard, then the typical cry call before it returns to the snoring call. Brown Quail are also heard calling. From 0:41 to 0:51, Red-backed Buttonquail can be faintly heard - that bird was calling from within 10 metres of the King Quail, which was within 10 metres of me. You'll have to turn the volume right up - and then the quail calls will be really loud. Other birds include Yellow-faced Honeyeater, New Holland Honeyeater, Spotted Pardalote and Little Wattlebird.
