Had to laugh when I saw this image. Too many years ago to count I was a flight attendant. One of our funnier captains would buzz for “the quail in the tail” when the crew needed coffee. Sexist perhaps but it was amusing.
Nicely captured take on him!
Not sure why, but these little guys always make me smile. Nice shot.
Quails are endearing looking things. (though, I admit to never having actually seen one)
Oh how I miss the quail – we don’t live in an area that is open enough for their taste. Lovely photo.
