A very dark photo.

Well done. But that isn’t everything about it.

Someone’s home.

Again close but I’m deferring to say, warm.

As it is, I am surprised that no one has noticed.

In fact it is correct. I will elaborate.
It is a photo of the down feathers that a black duck covers the eggs with when she has to be off the nest.
This is on the ground in mallee country.

Here is a photo from a day or so later.

Where an animal had taken all the eggs and I suspect a human.

There exists a rare and endangered fragment of mallee between me and the local Mallee Park.

Maybe a fox. Might take them back to its burrow if it has young or carry them to a safe place to eat. If the latter, it shouldn’t be far to find the shells.

A bit dark. Fed first image through “auto adjust colours”.

Definitely a nest, but for what bird?
