A Rain Quail in the open on a rock
A very energetic and delightful little bird, size of a kids palm maybe. The birds breed during rains and are usually seen after the first rains. These birds have a very nice and easy to remember call, a two noted call "Chirp Chirp" which is very easy to hear and id, but the bird itself is very hard to sight in the grass / natural habitat.
There are only a handful times where I got decent shots of this bird since they always stick to the grass. They are easy to hear and last season in a grassland, we heard 100's of them bursting with energy at the same time and it was a truly memorable experience. There was a swathe of green grass till the land meets the sky, and calls of this quail were everywhere.
I don't remember this shot at all and unsure how I missed processing it. But here it is now! My best shot of the Rain Quail - I am delighted.
Thanks in advance for your views and feedback. Much appreciated.
