User's notes

The nest was in the middle of the road having fallen from a Eucalypt. One chick had been run over by a car. While it was not alive, I couldn't bear to leave the second chick to also be run over so took it home to bury. It was still warm, but possibly from the sun. A Red Wattlebird perhaps? The chick was about 7-10 cms.
