It was angrily chirping at me before I noticed the nest. If you look closely you can see it peeking out of the nest.

Yep - the bill shape and also the pale brow line. Buff-rumped Thornbills tend to build their nest behind peeling bark (at least the ones I have seen) - something to look out for perhaps.
