most of my Karori/Zealandia photos on Zoochat were deleted in The Great Purge, so I thought I might just re-upload a few.
This one is from a 2008 visit.
Californian quail are obviously an introduced species in NZ (first released in this country in 1865) and are now common most places. This is the mate of the female pictured here:

It is not the best photo but I like his pose!
