WhatGreat Tit (Parus major)ObserverkaupunkilinnutDescriptionI think this house sparrow like voice was great tit. Imitation? I heard it later in another place too, causing alarm among sparrows. |

Eurasian Wood-Pigeon (Columba palumbus) |
Photos / SoundsWhatHooded Crow (Corvus cornix)ObserverkaupunkilinnutDescriptionSeveral crows rubbing on softening snow in turns while they proceeded along dwarf. EDIT: My first thought was they were imitating otter, and it appears to be true as tracks was found nearby next day. |

Crows and Ravens (Genus Corvus) |
WhatHooded Crow (Corvus cornix)ObserverkaupunkilinnutDescriptionCan't see clearly if this is accipiter again on same antenna. It quickly disappeared and I saw crow gliding towards looking big, pointing one of the park trees, then turning awkwardly again gliding wings wide ~W which left me unsure what there was on picture. |

Common Raven (Corvus corax) |
WhatIcterine Warbler (Hippolais icterina)ObserverkaupunkilinnutDescriptionSinging in length. I think it's in this excerpt imitating fieldfare. |
Fieldfare (Turdus pilaris) |
WhatBlackbird (Turdus merula)ObserverkaupunkilinnutDescriptionBlackbird moved in tree like magpie. It appeared that ten minutes later magpie flew with a young in its beak followed by thrushes. |

Common Buzzard (Buteo buteo) |
WhatBlackbird (Turdus merula)ObserverkaupunkilinnutDescriptionTwo male blackbirds were heavily agitated when I arrived here, imitating what looked like squirrel movement and protecting a nest, both of which weren't here. Eventually they left to different directions. |
Eurasian Red Squirrel (Sciurus vulgaris) |
Photos / SoundsWhatStarling (Sturnus vulgaris)ObserverkaupunkilinnutDescriptionThree starlings moving around - there's possibly tree cavities for nesting. Silent voices imitating geese, duck, jay, thrush (redwing?)... [1-4, rec] Moment earlier they were joined monitoring unknown crow event. [5] |
Manu (Birds) (Class Aves) |
WhatHouse Sparrow (Passer domesticus)ObserverkaupunkilinnutDescriptionMale house sparrow appeared shortly making some kind of imitation (lower note especially at beginning and end). Greenfinch... warbler...?? |

Manu (Birds) (Class Aves) |
Photos / SoundsWhatStarling (Sturnus vulgaris)ObserverkaupunkilinnutDescriptionCame by imitating redwing (not recorded) when blackbird was recovering followed by another before departing. |
Redwing (Turdus iliacus) |
WhatStarling (Sturnus vulgaris)ObserverkaupunkilinnutDescriptionStarling in front of nesting cavity was likely just imitating longer repetition of redwing voice before recording. Blackbird voice in the end of the recording is starling imitation, then it left. |
Typical Thrushes (Genus Turdus) |
WhatStarling (Sturnus vulgaris)ObserverkaupunkilinnutDescriptionFieldfare, blackbird, and redwing. EDIT: It's possible this is starling imitation instead - four days later heard one imitating redwing and also blackbird (I noticed the starling after hearing longer section of redwing voice) - if so, there has been several such shorter imitations lately. |
Redwing (Turdus iliacus) |
Photos / SoundsWhatBlack-headed Gull (Chroicocephalus ridibundus)ObserverkaupunkilinnutDescriptionUnless this is tern, this is black-headed gull possibly imitating tern, keeping wings narrow flying slowly against the wind E. There was black/dark head coloring but I'm unsure how much. This flight occurred same time or slightly before swan had collided at the bridge nearby and after listening tree sparrow imitating tern voice for longer period. |
Typical Terns (Genus Sterna) |
WhatEurasian Tree Sparrow (Passer montanus)ObserverkaupunkilinnutDescriptionMoving around making tern like sound. None yet sighted unless there was one later. |
Typical Terns (Genus Sterna) |
WhatStarling (Sturnus vulgaris)ObserverkaupunkilinnutDescriptionCame very close while filling feeders. Before recording it was first repeating sound once heard at 0'24. If it was imitation it was faster but similar than curlew call. |
