Hoping to head back into the bush this morning to try and get you guys a half decent picture of the owner of this nest (not the owner of this particular one but you get the picture. Or you don't. Which is the reason I'm heading back in). 

Turns out the Yellow-Throated Scrubwren is my new nemesis in that it's too small, too fast and likes areas that are too dark. It's been driving me bonkers for days trying to get anything, an image, some video, anything really. 

Legend has it, if you stand very quietly in the Illawarra bush you can still hear her angrily whispering, "FFS, would you just sit still for ONE minute' 🤣 Wish me luck!
