Could be but I think of Blackbird’s nest as more in the vegetation, as in more dense shrubs above and around. Also mum Blackbirds tend to sit very tight and
not leave the nest until approached very closely. Sometimes you can almost touch them.

I stumbled across this nest this morning along Condor Creek. The nest was about two metres up a ribbon gum among peeling bark and wedged atop a branch fork. The bird was on the nest and shot silently down into
the undergrowth not to be seen again. I took this quick photo and left.
Any ideas which species lays these eggs and builds this type of nest?
