Brave little Sisyphos

More than 600 times a day
parent birds are feeding their siblings,
And if one parent is being killed?
I do so admire "my" little Sisyphos
for what he is doing,
since Lady Redstart got missed.
[All I found one morning was a flight feather.]
So much I'd like to help him.
Fixed a birdhouse on the balustrade,
bought mealworms to make his life easier,
but so far the little widower does not accept help.
A hunter for life.
May he succeed!

Brave little birds

In early May they started to build.
Although most material fell
or was blown down by the wind,
they did not give up,
which is why I called them
Ms and Mr Sisyphos.
But finally they made it.
By now
Lady Redstart

and Mr Redstart are feeding their offspring.
