I would like to encourage those people
monitoring or observing this breeding event, to get together and compile this
information about a possible abandonment of nests (especially if it has happened
similarly at different sites) into an article for CBN. This doesn't include me,
as I have not been out there (or anywhere else in the last week) to do any
birding. This should be in the context - as said by John K.
Layton "I've read here and there .... that White-browed Woodswallows
are prone to up and leaving their eggs and nestlings for no discernible
reason."
Waterbirds can do this if the water dries up, but
for bush birds, it is a rather extreme behaviour and seems rather strange to me
and as it would be really useful and worth recording in proper print, even if it
has happened before.
