G'day Con!
I dug around and found I did have a picture of the nest ...

... but only after I discovered it was in fact a nest (complete with 3 eggs) and put it back on the parcel carrier of the bike where the mystery bird had constructed it. Because I had thought it was an incomplete nest initially, I took it out into
better light to examine it and only then discovered the "pocket" containing the eggs. I think it had already been abandoned as a result of noise in the house upstairs over the preceding few days (house was unoccupied before this), but I put it back with the
pocket on top (as shown in this picture). No birds ever returned.
Regards ... Robin Eckermann

Hi Robin
What was the size of the nest? What type of nest was it? Was it domed or cup shape? Is the house on the edge of a natural area or is the house in a suburb?
regards
Con
