Makes my eyes water to think of a Grey Shrike Thrush laying a 50mm egg, but no idea unless there is water nearby when Dusky Moorhen could be a candidate.

Grey Thrush or Bellbird is my guess.

Subject: [Birding-Aus] ID a nest

I'd like to ask the collective to help me identify a nest I found in
April this year. It was found
inside a hollow tree stump c.1500mm high and c.250mm across. Eggs are
smaller than a chicken larger than a quail, let's say 50mm. Located
near Clermont, Qld open eucalypt & acacia woodland Bluegrass community.
I have an image of the nest and eggs here

Cheers Tony
