Unfortunately when I went back this morning all I could see of the nest was some bits and pieces hanging on the branch, and the male nearby

Probably predated by a Currawong (or maybe a Magpie or Raven). Around here over the years I've seen Currawongs raiding nests of Fairywrens, Brown Thornbills and Yellow-faced Honeyeaters.

Yeah, I looked around for those predators yesterday while I was photographing them, as I didn't want to alert them to the presence of the nest.
