I expected the fledgling to appear on Sunday, but when I woke up on Thursday morning and looked over the window, I noticed this. The right part of the nest destroyed and ripped off with strands of nest fibres dangled down there. No chicks movement or their call, just silent.
It was normal nest with happily and noisy chicks feeding when I observed on Wednesday evening.
What caused this, I don't know. Maybe strong wind or night predator?. OGK.



She called with harsh voice, like this song recorded by David Farrow.

Sorry to hear about the failed nest. I am sure they will come back and try again!
the nest sound predatored but still a good observation
wow love last 2 pictures :P i wanna go bird watching with you
I'm sorry to hear that Tabib, but this is nature, isn't it? I guess you will witness one successful nesting soon!
You reported that feeding started on the 8th and I calculated 12 days. By the 20th the chicks should be ready for fledging. Therefore plus & minus, when you saw the parent again on the 23rd, I think they have left the nest. Remember I warned that the nest would be destroyed to facilitate fledging? Look for the chicks, they could be around. Good Luck
Oh no! This is very sad.
i am very sorry to hear this.. sometimes these things happen

How come we have two sad endings?
I don't like to hear that. It's very sad and sounds as if a predator was there. I am so sorry.
Sorry about the failed nest. We hate to see it happen.
Sorry to hear about that Tabib. Anna :)
Bad luck Tabib. As the chicks get bigger they get noisier, the parents visit more often and both events will attract predators in.
the baya weaver revenge.. haha..
