Leaden Flycatcher's nest washed away

At the start of last week we saw this pair of Leaden Flycatchers putting the finishing touches to a nest, about three metres above the waters of Tallow Creek in Byron Bay New South Wales. Later it looked like the birds were taking turns sitting on the nest.

Today, after two day of storms and torrential rain there is sadly no sign of the nest, presumably washed off its perch.
