The pike eventually gave up and swam away. On inspection, we found a round whitefish that looked to have been dead for some time - appears to have been a scavenging attempt by the pike, rather than predation. Round whitefish ~25cm total length. |

Gulls brought something near the glass, but they couldn't possibly mutilate bird found there this fast, so this must be some piece of bigger animal or older leftover instead? It was soon swallowed as whole anyway. So: recent glass collision victim or something else? |

![]() Photos / SoundsWhatHouse Sparrow (Passer domesticus)ObserverkaupunkilinnutDescriptionGull came around meauwing, next time I looked behind my back it was taking from elm seeds I think juvenile house sparrow and digesting it. It was already early evening and none of house sparrows were at open ground, neither they were alarming the event. So even though place would suspect it predated unaware young sparrow feeding on elm seeds, but I guess more likely there has been earlier car collision instead. EDIT: I'm inclined to think gull somehow predated sparrow from its flying path. |

Near the pine tree that seems to be dominated by house sparrows, but I haven't spent much time looking for nests. |

If in any way related, there was Finns Party event here yesterday. Right foot appears to be broken. Have to check if this is the same one with broken foot that has regularly been around. EDIT: Looks like this was the same foot injured one that has been here years, and also seen this spring, but not afterwards. |

I've changed all the interaction field names from "Interaction: " to "Interaction->" to stop them messing with the photo tag processing on photo import. When adding photos already tagged with fields to the "Add an observation" page, it was only grabbing the field name text after the colon and so not working properly.
Everything works now that the colon is gone, so long as you use a recognised taxon name. For example, if I tag a photo on my computer with "Interaction->Visited flower of=Rosmarinus officinalis" and upload it, it will get this field added with the taxon Rosmarinus officinalis.
That can save a lot of time if you''re maintaining your own photo library in your computer and tagging lots of photos there and uploading them all at once.
