At our place there are 2 chough families. Today I found the nest of the other family, quite near our house. The birds in the photos are fledglings ready to leave the nest.
Just next to the chough tree there was a wagtail nest.
This is a youtube video of the chough fledglings leaving the nest. Unfortunately the sound is no good. Warning - poor qualty work. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-uvs0Bu7vvQ
Thanks Greg. Another bird I have never seen.... that nest really is a work of art isn't it? Is it made with mud?

On our back verandah there is a swallow nest with this years nestlings, soon big enough to fly. hard to get a good photo.
Great shots we got a few on the weekend of a willie on her nest. Isnt it amazing how big or small some of the birds nests are.
