Description When: April 30, 2017
Where: Kölner Zoo, Germany
Right at the end (or the start, depending in which door you came through ), in this inside area which housed many kinds of animals, was this dark corner where you could find a Sengi but also a family of Harlequin Quails. Not just a male and a few females - but also these chicks I think there were 4-5, though they were very active and didn't sit still for long (when they were huddled under their mom, disappearing completely from sight). Pair that with a dark corner from where we sat, and their dark enclosure, and photographing them was tough. This is one of the best photos we took and just look at how fluffy they are
