Large, two-toned warbler of extensive reed beds. Warm brown above with a pale, unstreaked breast. May recall Eurasian Reed-Warbler but note long undertail coverts with indistinct pale tips. Not typically easy to see, but singing birds usually partially exposed. The song is a metallic, continuous, low-pitched, and insectlike series like Common Grasshopper-Warbler but lower pitched.
Sitting as public art before an art store, that used to be a church, stands this enigmatic mechanical insectlike humanoid with what appears to be a weapon...imposing.

Extremely skulky warbler. Plumage dark gray-brown overall with wide black streaks on back; also note long undertail coverts with big dark centers. Favors damp grassy thickets, heaths, and other rank shrubby habitats, often near water. Very skulking, and rarely seen unless singing. Sings from perch in grass or low bush, mainly late in the day (sometimes at night): a prolonged, insectlike, reeling trill. Calls include a high-pitched “pik.”
Grasshopper warblers are rather indistinctive medium-sized brown warblers. Their lack of notable markings serves them well, allowing them to remain hidden in undergrowth, and to skulk in reedbeds without being detected.
As is usually the case for warblers, there is no difference in appearance between males and females. Adult grasshopper warblers are olive-brown, streaked with darker brown.
Their underparts are creamy-brown and mottled with dark spotting on parts of the breast and flanks. Their reddish brown tail is streaked with darker grey-brown markings. They have a faint lighter eye stripe, and the rest of their face is mostly pale grey.
Young grasshopper warblers resemble adults, but their underparts are slightly more yellow.
During the breeding season, grasshopper warblers head for scrublands, sedge, reedbeds and marshes. They are also attracted by the cover offered by bramble and nettle beds, moorlands, and the fringes of grazing fields.
Wintering habitats include bushy grasslands, woodland undergrowth, low-lying floodland, rice fields and scrubland.
Grasshopper warblers breed across Europe, from Britain and Ireland, southern Scandinavia and Finland in the north, as far south as the Alps, northern Spain and Portugal. To the east, the range extends across eastern Europe into Russia, reaching north-west China and much of central Asia.
Less is known about the wintering grounds of the grasshopper warbler, but the species is confirmed in isolated patches of West Africa, including Senegal, Mali, Sierra Leone and Ghana, as well as parts of Ethiopia and India.

What tenements of clover
Are fitting for the bee,
What edifices azure
For butterflies and me–
What residences nimble
Arise and evanesce
Without a rhythmic rumour
Or an assaulting guess.
Emily dickinson, 1338
The face could be a shamanistic representation again, but I think it looks a bit like a cat face. (Which means it's probably a squirrel...) The little figure just below it seems insectlike. Nice bear paw print.

Extremely skulky warbler. Plumage dark gray-brown overall with wide black streaks on back; also note long undertail coverts with big dark centers. Favors damp grassy thickets, heaths, and other rank shrubby habitats, often near water. Very skulking, and rarely seen unless singing. Sings from perch in grass or low bush, mainly late in the day (sometimes at night): a prolonged, insectlike, reeling trill. Calls include a high-pitched “pik.”
Grasshopper warblers are rather indistinctive medium-sized brown warblers. Their lack of notable markings serves them well, allowing them to remain hidden in undergrowth, and to skulk in reedbeds without being detected.
As is usually the case for warblers, there is no difference in appearance between males and females. Adult grasshopper warblers are olive-brown, streaked with darker brown.
Their underparts are creamy-brown and mottled with dark spotting on parts of the breast and flanks. Their reddish brown tail is streaked with darker grey-brown markings. They have a faint lighter eye stripe, and the rest of their face is mostly pale grey.
Young grasshopper warblers resemble adults, but their underparts are slightly more yellow.
During the breeding season, grasshopper warblers head for scrublands, sedge, reedbeds and marshes. They are also attracted by the cover offered by bramble and nettle beds, moorlands, and the fringes of grazing fields.
Wintering habitats include bushy grasslands, woodland undergrowth, low-lying floodland, rice fields and scrubland.
Grasshopper warblers breed across Europe, from Britain and Ireland, southern Scandinavia and Finland in the north, as far south as the Alps, northern Spain and Portugal. To the east, the range extends across eastern Europe into Russia, reaching north-west China and much of central Asia.
Less is known about the wintering grounds of the grasshopper warbler, but the species is confirmed in isolated patches of West Africa, including Senegal, Mali, Sierra Leone and Ghana, as well as parts of Ethiopia and India.

Create a surreal, hyper-realistic creature that merges the elegant features of a giraffe with the anatomy of a spider. The creature should have a giraffe’s head and long neck, patterned with distinctive golden-brown spots. Its body is rounded like a spider’s abdomen, carrying the same giraffe-like markings for a seamless hybrid look. Eight slender, articulated legs extend from beneath the torso, insectlike but organic in texture and color. The environment is a dry savanna with soft, out-of-focus vegetation. The overall mood blends natural realism with fantastical biology, capturing a bizarre yet believable chimera.
