quail

No sign of the heron today so perhaps he's continues his migration---but then I've prematurely said goodbye to several migrants already.
Speaking of which, 2 turtle doves were still at the pond today. But much more interesting was the quail which took of from the roadside as i was cycling near Le Chatenet. I've heard a few in the fields this summer but this is the the first that I've actually seen.
In a nearby field a flock of migrating yellow wagtails were feeding/flying. They were too far away for me to determine the race.
