Nest Abandoned

It's disappointing that the honeyeaters haven't returned to the nest in over 2 days.

Anyhow, here's some pics of a successful nesting which also occurred in our patio in 2000.

The nest was built in the palm on the right.

Bright eyes!
Ready to leave.

The mother bird has been sitting on the nest continuously the past couple of days.

This morning, the nest was vacant and seemed to be hanging at a precarious angle.
I sneaked a look inside; there were no eggs.
