We were so pleased that our special blackbird had nested close to our house in the overgrown jasmine and she seemed very trusting, allowing me to take a photo every morning when she was out foraging for food. On 26th April the fourth egg hatched and I watched the four babies grow, with open mouths waiting for food. We put out lots of things for them, to help with the feeding as there are lots of birds using our feeding stations etc |

the urban fox is a first rate pest you should shoot it not feed it |

Have you got any crows or magpies around your garden Liz? Always sad to see nature at its worst. |

We do have a pair of magpies which I scare away if I see them, but the loss happened around midnight so wouldn't be them. The security light goes on when even the hedgehog comes to this end of the garden whicn is how I know what's about, I can see througn to the garden from my seat in the lounge and didn't see or hear a tthing to suggest a problem. O.h. said the nest doesn't look damaged. |

Foxy has been and gone, and soon after, the hedgehog. They both snacked on the bits of bread etc the starlings left had a drink and disappeared. Foxy stood for a second to watch me watching him. Hedgehog is used to me watchinng through the patio doors |
