California quail (Callipepla californica) are abundant in the Tasman District. These quail were part of a large group running along Horton Road, near Tasman. A really large group, probably close to two dozen. There’s a bit of a wetland at the end of the flat part of Horton Road and it provides shelter for a lot of different bird species. I’ve seen a pheasant cock around there, loads of pukeko, a flock of domestic geese and many kingfishers.
Quail. Lots of them.
