quail family


For the second day running, this completely adorable quail family has appeared in the back yard: one parent (who flies over the wall), and six chicks (who come through a drainage hole).  I'm very impressed with their independence, trotting around cheeping, and getting their own insects, seeds, and the rest of it, even though they are barely the size of a fluffy hen's egg.  This is why we never eat quail, obviously.
