The Black-breasted Buttonquail is a rare and endangered ground bird endemic to eastern Australia, notable for the prominent black plumage on the female's underparts.
Where to spot
Endemic to fragmented pockets of southeastern Queensland and northeastern New South Wales, Australia, primarily in vine thickets and dry rainforest remnants.
How to spot
Patience is crucial. Listen for the deep, booming call of the female, which is often the only indicator of its presence. It may be flushed briefly from dense cover.
When to spot
Extremely difficult to observe due to its elusive nature and dense habitat. Best chances are during the breeding season (spring/summer) when females are more vocal.

This species is highly reliant on patches of dense vine scrub within drier open eucalypt forests, making it particularly vulnerable to habitat fragmentation and fires.
