Hi Fiona, The dot on the map for this sighting is out in the bush, yet the photo background looks suspiciously like lawn. When you are placing the dot on the map, you can zoom right in to place it more accurately rather than just in the general area of your place. If it is the GPS in your camera getting the location wrong, as I think they sometimes do if you have only just turned the camera on when you take the photo, without giving the GPS time to stabilise, then you can correct the dot on the map yourself after the info is downloaded from the photo, just be clicking on a different spot on the map. Jackie PS Lucky you, having button-quail wandering about on your lawn. We glimpse them briefly in our bush occasionally, but only ever flying away from us at top speed!

Thank you for the tip Jackie. Actually, although this looks like lawn it was in fact in the bush but within the edges of it.

OK, fair enough.
