For my US friends who read this blog, thought you might like this pic. It was busy sleeping, as Koalas do during the day.
This is the closest I’ve gotten to a wren yet. It flew into a tree above my head and naturally my camera was already in my hand ready for action.

I've actually learnt lots of things since that day and can now name almost every bird in this region and identify it by its call too.
