Lyrebird Nest

Originally a Sea Eagle or Osprey nest (perhaps). About a metre across.

 

Years ago, at first view, the nest was open with only large sticks. Later, another creature covered it up with smaller branches. The nest was vacant today, but I have seen feathers here before.

 

It's surprisingly unprotected, being near ground level. There are many large goannas in the national park, which may eat the eggs or nestlings. However, it does appear to be regularly used, so perhaps the nest site is successful.
