03/05/25 | House Sparrow | Bracknell | 1 | D A MacKenzie Dodds |
17:33 | Tiniest remaining nestling ejected from camera box by an adult male, keen to start a second nest. Its mother arrived to defend it a few seconds too late. The nestling was way too underdeveloped to survive such an early nest exit. , we think. Let alone fly. No sign of it in the garden. Suspect it's been taken by a magpie. Sad end. . | |||

10:26 | 2nd chick fledged at this time. Leaving only the very underdeveloped nestling in the camera box. Shortly afterwards an adult male entered the box and attacked the wee nestling. Its mother returned and ejected the attacking male but it had wounded the nestling. It doesn't look wonderful for this wee bird. Crossed fingers here. | |||
