| Fri 2 | | Painted Buttonquail
Queens Domain (Hobart) |
| At least two birds observed in short grass on the north side of the hill during the 2016 BioBlitz twilight bird survey. Initially spotted scuttling in front of the group by an eagle-eyed young member of the Derwent Sea Scouts; the identity of the birds was confirmed as they skulked off under the she-oaks. Atypical habitat; birds could not be relocated during subsequent searches over several days, although some evidence of platelet-making was found. eBird checklist |
