Stubble Quail
4 sections
The Stubble Quail is a plump, ground-dwelling bird and Australia’s most widespread native quail, thriving in grasslands and agricultural fields across much of the continent. Its bold streaked plumage and sudden, noisy flush from cover make it a familiar sight-and sound-for birdwatchers, especially in southeastern and southwestern Australia.
