One of the more endearingly quaint birds which I have round The Cottage are the
California Quails. They scurry around the ground at a great speed and are not easy to photograph unless you have a long focus lens and a sunny day. Get too near and they fly off at a considerable speed. Oddly (I say
oddly but it may not be so I'm not really sure why I said it) this is the first time that I've seen one in a tree.
