Tree Sparrows predated by Magpie

Tree Sparrows that I found in March are breeding again. First breeding seems to be successful as 4 juvenile birds are hanging around. Parents are bringing food to the cavity and taking away fecal sacs. It took an attention of a Magpie, that was trying to predate the chicks. I hope this breeding will be successful as well.
