Quails like the small things in life (woodlice, worms, seeds etc) and are often to be heard chiruping away to themselves with delight when presented with a new bowl of sand to bathe in or a bowl of leftover rice from last nights tea.
Nothing gets them more worked up than a bunch of burstingly ripe elderberries though.
I'm sure they can feel the Autumn goodness giving them a little boost to keep their lovely eggs coming for a bit longer before they start to moult and settle down for a winter snuggled on top of their hot water bottles.
Watch out to the right though Speckeldy because Eagle has just spotted what you have got...
