The male magpie lark was already busy at the nest this morning at 6.30am when I got out of bed. I didn't see the female assisting with the nest at all this morning, it appears that the male is spending more time at the building than the female. As I had to go to work I didn't have much time to observe today. When I got home from work there was no activity at the nest but the nest appeared just a bit more developed.
