Breeding Blackbirds

I reported yesterday that I had seen a blackbird carrying worms and conjectured that this could signify a breeding pair. This morning, I checked out the area and saw a group of magpies in an adjoining garden. One of them had something in its beak which could have been a chick. Two blackbirds were frantically flying around.
So, it is likely that the blackbirds did have a brood but this has been discovered by the magpies.
Saw two separate lots of flowering daffodils today.
