I would say almost definately magpie, i've seen them pulling baby house sparrows from under roof tiles, killing and dropping them.

we found a baby jack daw yesterdayfunny enough, it had fallin out the nest it was still alive but the older birds above us where going mad.

And few weeks ago i also seen a yong chick looked a few days old, and i noticed there was a nest in the tree above, i guessed it had fallin out?

Bloody magpies , there`s a nest near me , they only come in my garden once

[happylamper 7]

the problem is the chicks arn't near any trees or near the house finding on the ground near the road side aswell,and in the middle of the garden with no nesting places in my garden. the next door got a few conifors?

Very rare for a chick to actualy fall out of a nest, unless they are fledging.

then its more than likely they are being picked from the nest, i probely wouldnt worry to much.

I've never trapped any, so i'm no expert, but i should imagine, early spring would be most productive though you can trap them all year roud.

 

i'm talking about a larsen trap with a call bird.

 

i'm sure someone will put me right if 'm wrong.
