If the original post asked for experiences of game birds out of season:

Currently away from home at the pointy end of Australian foreign policy... Not so very long ago at all, I and some mates were tasked with a job somewhere remote and quite open. As I returned from a short trip to the bushes (there weren't many amenities...) I got a pleasant surprise when something burst with a whirring of wings from under my feet: quail of some description, but I'm not sure what sort. I spent some very pleasant hours watching them and some sort of pretty little doves/pigeons; I was glad to have a really good binocular with me to watch them, and I've now ordered a handbook on birds of the region. The other blokes think I'm a bit odd...
