I remember, several times while motionlessly surveying birds, I found myself being investigated by Striped Field Mice , who would dare to come to sniff me. Actually, when I started to bird, my second ever duck, after the Mallard, was a Ruddy Shelduck! At the Danube in practically downtown Belgrade – how odd is that?

A few dead birds were collected by authorities and sent to a laboratory for investigation. Species that were apparently less affected were Corvids, pigeons/doves, the Paridae, sparrows, warblers, and Black Redstarts. I frequently observed Blackbirds walking on the ground like rodents, even ducking under low tufts of grass.

House Sparrows thrive in the city, but don’t appear to inhabit the parks and gardens quite as much. Interestingly the Botanical Gardens don’t appear to sustain a population of House Sparrows at all among all the greenery. The constant supply of crumbs around the city must offer enough of a reason to not live in the parks!

If the animal then touches or investigates the mark, it is taken as an indication that the animal perceives the reflected image as an image of itself, rather than of another animal. What could be plainer than the Eurasian Tree Sparrow ? The one for bird photographers (a Spot-billed Duck ) is shown below. Help is appreciated.
