WhatHouse Sparrow (Passer domesticus)ObserverkaupunkilinnutDescriptionLeft wing injury. Came hopping on open ground from elsewhere. Ate well suplementary food. These have healed in house sparrows within few weeks. Just needs safe vegetation and food available. Wing position likely stays little "asymmetrical" which doesn't seem to affect much for non-migratory sparrows. |

Photos / SoundsWhatMallard (Anas platyrhynchos)ObserverkaupunkilinnutDescriptionWing injury. Just moment earlier I thought I heard frightened mallard voice, but I thought it was slightly in different direction at bicycle path direction where was none. They also behaved like it has occurred already slightly earlier. [1-2] Still at same place in the afternoon [3]. |

Photos / SoundsWhatEurasian Tree Sparrow (Passer montanus)ObserverkaupunkilinnutDescriptionI'm unsure if this is same disease house sparrows have been suffering. No significant ill behavior other than not reacting to alarm and evading of others, and constantly changing position at feeder. |

Photos / SoundsWhatEurasian Oystercatcher (Haematopus ostralegus)ObserverkaupunkilinnutDescriptionMale seemed to be more vocal. Male left for a while but after returning they both left S. |

Photos / SoundsWhatTrue Sparrows (Genus Passer)ObserverkaupunkilinnutDescriptionBoth permanently missing crown feathers and seeming like 2nd generation hybrid because of long white neck band, but that may be due to missing feathers too? |

Photos / SoundsWhatGreat Tit (Parus major)ObserverkaupunkilinnutDescriptionLong-billed great tit. Somehow I don't see it crossed now, I'm wondering if there's two of them or is it somehow occurring coincidentally. |

Photos / SoundsWhatEurasian Blue Tit (Cyanistes caeruleus)ObserverkaupunkilinnutDescriptionOne of the cross-billed blue tits seen earlier in the winter. Normally feeding on peanut. I think it's this one, a bit shabby. |

Photos / SoundsWhatHouse Sparrow (Passer domesticus)ObserverkaupunkilinnutDescription(Closest of the few females has skin symptoms. They look more red than the one seen earlier today.) |
uncertain |
Photos / SoundsWhatHouse Sparrow (Passer domesticus)ObserverkaupunkilinnutDescriptionThese indurations appear to be latter phase of the skin symptoms? Only minor area visibly affected so there must be new feather growth or I'm interpreting wrong. No ill related behavior. |

WhatHooded Crow (Corvus cornix)ObserverkaupunkilinnutDescriptionThis appeared to be left foot injured. Seems thin, magpie like. |

Photos / SoundsWhatHouse Sparrow (Passer domesticus)ObserverkaupunkilinnutDescriptionSkin symptoms. Left side of the face seemed to have clear red skin partially visible (little further from beak) but that doesn't show well in the picture. |

Photos / SoundsWhatMallard (Anas platyrhynchos)ObserverkaupunkilinnutDescriptionWing injury, active. Once spreading wings as well as it could, but it's not hanging totally loose either. |

Photos / SoundsWhatHouse Sparrow (Passer domesticus)ObserverkaupunkilinnutDescriptionRecovered from skin symptoms (or after all suffering from them)? There seems to be just thin layer of feathers at sides of beak? Already last time looked like there was new ones growing?? Was laying poignantly at sun and looked quite ok? |

Photos / SoundsWhatHouse Sparrow (Passer domesticus)ObserverkaupunkilinnutDescriptionMissing feathers especially at grey cap area. Seems to have dark cheeks and white neck ring too - also explained by missing feathers (and facial expression) too? Not hybridization? I'm unsure if this is same individual here https://www.inaturalist.org/observations?place_id=118805&q=109370092&search_on=tags&user_id=kaupunkilinnut It looks a bit different but also has long white neck band and missing feathers at top of head. |

Projects Using This Field
Injured, ill or dying
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.
