As usual I'm a bit evious of the ones I am yet to see & photograph. I think the Shy Heathwren has to be at the top of that list.
I did have a bit of a win a few days ago myself though. We have been hearing Yellow-billed Kingfishers daily for months now but they have been really elusive. Last week I discovered an active nest out in the rainforest & waited impatiently to get a day without rain to return with hope & my camera. Pleased to say I finally got a shot of one. :)

Well done! That's a species that we haven't seen.
The Shy Heathwren is a bugger of a bird to get a shot of.
