User's notes
We saw a small, vegetation clump of a nest in a small shrub beside the path on the western side of Red Hill. While we wondering what bird made the nest we saw the movement of a small bird in the low shrubs. It looked at us from the back of the shrub and I was able to shoot a few photographs. It then flew quickly inside the nest. When the bird fully exited the nest it remained perched on branches at the front of the nest, looking around, including looking at us. The bird did not seem that concerned with out presence.
