Thats a shame but they do seem to be breeding well and probably have more before summer out .

we have two sets of blackbirds this year the other has a son, so thats lovely to see to, they are so protective,

Our borders alive with them as they fledge before getting tail feathers - only just able to fly short distances and very vunerable but those feathers grow quickly they need to ..

We keep our cats in during this time but cant legislate for others ..still they do seem to be making up for poor summers we ve had.Loads of butterflies lots of swallows and house martins so signs are good this year.
