User's notes
I stumbled on this nest in long grass, about 30cm from ground, and looked in, expecting it to be empty. At least two tiny nestlings. I then noticed the mother wren looking on anxiously from a nearby sapling, so did not try to take closer photos. Another nest in thistle close by with empty eggshell, see subsequent sighting.
