As reported previously, all three wagtail pairs lost their nests (would have been eggs at that stage), about 2 weeks back. Not sure how, but the number of Kookaburras, Ravens, Grey Shrike-thrush and other predators would have made short work of it all.
So the good news of course ,is you can’t keep a good wagtail down, and after a little searching in the morning we found all three hard at work and one who had really jumped the gun and had the nest, and the chicks, at least two, hatched.
Well done Mum’s. Let’s hope for a little more compassion from your neighbours.
Not the extra strong binding to the branch on this one.
