Photos / SoundsWhatHouse Sparrow (Passer domesticus)ObserverkaupunkilinnutDescriptionI think there was short garden warbler like song burst. Immediately afterwards this house sparrow appeared to be imitating the quality of its voice, especially first notes I didn't record. Here the voice sounds maybe even more like wheatear or thrush nightingale. Nevertheless it's not typical house sparrow voice though how the voice is used is. [during 3-4,rec] House sparrows can sing other birds tunes, but usually imitating is like "tasting" or playing with the sound quality, like here. |

Photos / SoundsWhatSubgenus BombusObserverkaupunkilinnutDescriptionLying still at ground, but was alive and eagerly (and defensively) grabbed to towel. I tried to find suitable flower (one too small and one too deep) and seemed to be most comfortable with colt's foot where I left it. Was quite active on foot after waking up (despite of taking nap at bigger flower) but didn't try any flying during this short time. |

Comments
Yes. I wonder if it would be best if this field focused on injury and the other on developmental deformities and abnormalities.
I was thinking of merging the two, but instead decided to try and use the two for the different aspects (perhaps a little strained as some deformities might be caused by an earlier infection or injury). Perhaps we don't need 'Anomaly' as part of the field name here anymore.
