Thanks - it was pretending to be a perching bird and was on a branch about 3 metres up.

Thanks Todd! I guess it felt safe being up out of reach, so I was very close.

Now you know! Actually I have this magical ability to change my size and the size of everything I'm carrying so I shrank myself and the camera...
