Secretive Jacarinis

I cannot believe how secretive Jacarini hens are. The cock bird will sit out in the sun doing calling and backflips all day and yet I have two hens that I rarely catch a glimpse of. A couple of days ago I spotted a fledgling for a split second and after searching high and low, managed to find a well concealed nest but couldn't find either hen or any fledgling(s). Looks like I'll have to wait until the grass is cut back in a couple of months to see how many I've got.
