Yesterday evening there was a commotion in the garden and
looking out of the living room window we saw a ♂
Sparrowhawk that had one of the young Blackbirds pinned to the ground.
The ♂ Blackbird and the other
youngster were dive bombing the Sparrowhawk in an attempt to drive him away.
At that point I raced to the other room to get my camera. When
I got back all the birds had gone so we were at a loss to explain what had further transpired.
Had we lost one of the Blackbirds or not?
Fortunately this morning both young Blackbirds were still
present feeding in the garden with Dad so presumably the parent and siblings actions saved the day.
Mum was busy collecting nesting material today! 2nd
brood on the way, maybe?
