What a sad story, but at least they produced one offspring. Thanks for sharing this fascinating insight to their lives. I hope our Blackbirds have more luck. We had five rats here over the winter, I hate to kill anything but I tried and tried live traps but they wouldn't go in. Eventually I had to use poison as they would all be breeding soon and that would devastate our garden bird population as you know. So at the moment we are rat free and the camera is recording the nest 24 hours a day.
