We tracked down the raucous calls of a covey settling in for the night, one just wonders why would the birds risk giving away their roost sites with such a racket, and its not like they were either roosting high in the tree or in inaccesible branches....all in all rather dodgey behaviour and a not so Handsome looking bird.
