    Blackbird nestlings think I'm dad.

    Lots of fighting squawks very early this morning and then loud feed me noises from the chicks, then it went quiet. Iv looked everywhere and they are gone. The two that we know were left were not capable of flight but we cant find their bodies.

    Blackbird nestlings think I'm dad.

    In spite of there being little interest in my post, I have good and very bad news. All three chicks fledged today, the two older ones in the very early hours before it was even light and the younger weaker chick hours later and by accident, he really needed a least two more days in the nest to...

    Blackbird nestlings think I'm dad.

    A Blackbird has built its nest in a Honeysuckle bush growing against my neighbours fence in my rear garden. They are currently about 9 or 10 days old and to make matters even worse, the mother bird is raising them on her own after the male Blackbird appears to have been driven off by a rival...
