When I awoke this morning I went to the window to check on the nest. It had been a rainy and windy night. Unfortunately the nest was no longer to be seen in the tree. I searched the ground underneath the tree and found the nest but could not find any sign of the chicks that should have been in the nest?
I find it sad that I can still hear the Starling chicks chirping safely in the crevice between the bricks and mortar on the other side of the flat but the magpie lark chicks are no longer.
Hopefully they will have better luck another year.
