  Magpie-lark
If conditions are favourable, more than one brood may be reared in a year.
The Magpie-lark's mud nest had previously led to the species being closely linked with the mud-nest building members of the family Corcoracidae - the White-winged Chough, Corcorax melanorhamphos, and the Apostlebird, Struthidea cinerea.
They are in fact placed in the family Dicruridae, which includes Monarchs, Fantails, and Drongos.

 White-winged Chough - BIRD
The White-winged Chough (Corcorax melanorhamphos) is one of just two surviving members of the family Corcoracidae, the Australian mud-nest builders, and the only member of the genus Corcorax.
Choughs are easily recognised but often mistaken for "crows" — a double mistake, as the birds most frequently called crows in southern Australia are actually ravens.
