Good shot. 

Was the nest in use?  'Cause you got a lot closer than I would have if it was.

Ditto. Nice shot. Also, yes, was it still occupied?

Yes the nest was still occupied, and they became displeased by my many near-misses that shook the bush...
I also noticed that they came out and partially covered the outside of the nest.
I need to return to the location to measure the distance accurately, but I think it was about 20m from the slinging position.

I was thinking that. I suppose if they rebuild the nest I might revisit with an attempt 10m further back!

Ha ha that is awesome.
Did they chase you afterwards or were you in at a safe distance?
