Bird nest? High up in a gum tree, guessing about 20-25cm across.

Didn’t see any choughs today but have seen them before in this area. Will they reuse a nest every season? Cheers, Kurt

I think its a Chough, given the size. I'm pretty sure they will build a new nest as well since all the ones at my place that nest annually always build a new nest. Especially since the nest usually falls out of the tree before next season.
