Thanks :) I walked in the nature reserve, recognised their calls coming from further away where i have spotted them before and remembered the trees from last time they hung around. So i just walked in and waited patiently in a decent position without moving much. I keep one eye closed and one behind the viewfinder. It helps for them not to see your eyes and movement. They will check you out but won't get too close. If u make sudden movements they usually flee or just move on in the scrub close by. Trick is to be slow with your camera movements but you must be fast to focus each time they present themselves.
