Observation details

A female with at least three recently hatched chicks (one of which can just fly), in thick bush by the side of the road. Female detected when she gave clucking sounds, an intermittent crooning 'cruuk cruuk cruuk.' Also heard intermittent 'whit' but it isn't clear if these are calls being made by the femal, or the chicks responding. One of the chicks gave a screech when it flushed, flying away (not recorded). Chick still showing two dark dorsal stripes down the back.
