I missed it!
5.37am - Arrow-marked Babbler



One question though - are you certain that you heard a House Sparrow? The call is very similar to that of the Southern Grey-headed Sparrow which is far more common in the area.
Landi.
I'm not sure about the House Sparrow call Landi.
I myself don't know how they sound, so I can't say for sure if it was house sparrow or grey-headed sparrow that was id'd by one of the bomites.
