Thanks all, have to admit the monster cat did catch two of them, one she brought dead into the house, just like the Mum, but I spotted her catching the 2nd one and rescued it.
We did try to keep the cat in all day, but the Dad was still feeding them as late as 9.45 in the evenings and they were flying very low in the garden from one group of trees to another. So I decided then to get rid of the feeders altogether (I remember Malcolm and Elizabeth mentioning they did that after the chicks fledged) that solved the problem, Dad took them all off somewhere else and the monster is just catching little field mice now 😁
Hopefully the other 8 survive 🙏
