What a Disaster!
16 Answers
I've been running frantically around the garden for the past two hours!.......the blackbird's nest in big bush outside the window was being attacked by next doors cat, I ran out with water spray, and gave the cat a good dousing, he promptly ran away, I then looked into the nest and two of the three chicks were missing, the parents where flying around madly at this, then the remaining chick threw himself out the nest!.....he was in the bush somewhere, I searched and searched and eventually found him and put him back into the nest, I could hear another chick calling too, but the bush is thick and I couldn't see him, but I was glad to have found one of them at least, I then made a makeshift fence around the part of the bush where the cat had gone in, just as I finished the chick that I'd just rescued hopped out of the nest again!...........He's right at the back of the bush now I think, and I have no chance of reaching him!..........Worst of all, the parents are still searching, and I can still hear at least two chicks calling!...........I think they were just days away from fledging!..............doubt they can survive now........so sad........

However as a bird-lover it must be heartbreaking for you to see the little chicks grow up, almost to the point of becoming independent and then a cat turns up looking for some entertainment or food.
I hope you find the babies.
