Day 62 - The end

Three days after the magpie larks started their new nest it rained steadily all day. After this day the magpie larks didn't return again to finish the nest. It's hard to say why they gave up it might have been the rain or perhaps the presence of a small family of magpies that seemed to have moved into the area.
On a good note though, as I walked across to the other side of the park today I watched another pair of magpie larks defending their new fledgling against the presence of a Red Wattlebird. It's nice to know it's not all bad news.
