In 2022, we suddenly heard a chirping from our grapevines and shortly afterwards discovered a bird's nest between the grapes. The blackbird had made itself at home and had obviously successfully bred.
In the first few days there was not much to see but then little hungry heads peeked out of the nest and called for their mother.
Out of curiosity and also to be able to take better photos, we set up the ladder so that we could take a look into the nest from above.
And here they are. Four tiny blackbirds that consist half of beaks and have a huge appetite.
The mother was always nearby and cursed excitedly when we approached the nest.
Unfortunately, this is where the story ends. The cat also had good ears and so it happened, as it sometimes does in nature. At least that's what we assume. Sadly, at some point it was suddenly quiet, the birds had gone and the cat was probably satiated. I'm sorry that this story doesn't have a happy ending, but that's nature.
All photos are taken with a Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra camera by me,
