It is very sad that Tönn may have been killed.
I hope very much that Tiiu will find a new partner to preserve this rare species.

I don't understand those people who shot Tõnn. What for??? Why hunt such birds? Make a stuffed bird?
We will always remember Tõnn, and the one who shot him will be overtaken by God's punishment!

9:33 Tiiu is still waiting and calling for Tõnn, she is building a nest and does not understand why her friend does not respond to her call and does not come to the nest.

Hello all, I am very, very sad when the king Tönn no longer comes and brings with it the spring. I wonder if they were not with Tiiu in El Hondo?

We don't know where Tiiu is wintering, but based on other GSE with transmitters Tõnn wintering in Spain is unusual. Most of the GSE migrate to North-Africa and Middle East.

I just read about Tönn. I was looking for him at the nest and wondering that he is not there.
Makes me very sad to read about what happened. I hope his girlfriend will find another mate.
I will look for my last picture from last year and print it as a memorial. Fly high, Tönn - where ever you are.

Hello everybody! :hi:
Today Carmen Elisabet Juanita de costa Brava Cortez posted a beautiful poem in the chat, even a song. It is in Russian, I don't have an English translation, but I decided to post it on the forum - maybe someone will read it in Russian and understand it.
Let this poem be in memory of our Tõnn.

Я вверх взметнулся от шагов, от хруста веток,
Но он успел — его прицел был быстр и меток.
Я не услышал - ощутил, как все застыло,
А пуля, скользкая как ил, прошла навылет.
Навылет, навылет!

Она крыло мое прожгла и вышла горлом,
На веки тяжесть налегла, мой крик надорван,
Я падал медленно на лед, меня тянуло,
А солнце в красный небосвод зияло дулом.

Меня хлестало и несло последним ветром,
В последний раз мое крыло ловило трепет,
Зачем не в небе, налету, зачем так рано?!
Я понял силы остроту последней раной.

Как свод ликующий велик, как белы крылья!
А пуля, вечная, как миг, прошла навылет.
Навылет, навылет!


Carmen! Thank you so much for this poem!

Tönn will not come back...I know.....I will not accept, but I have to....
...but what about Thiu. is she searching for a new partner, if she will find one, will she return to this nest? or is it usual to chose the nest of the male?
I am not experienced in this questions. does somebody know ?

Spotted eagles usually build not one but several nests, so if she finds a new partner, she may use this nest or another one. Also greater and lesser spotted eagles can interbreed and give hybrides.

13.41 Some eagle is calling, probably Tiiu
13.44 Yes, it is she, she brought a branch and is calling in the nest.
13.49 Tiiu flew away

Tiiu was in the nest at 13:42 - 13:49 and 13:52 - 13:57. She brought the branches, laid them down, shaped the nest bowl and desperately called Tönn! When she flew away, her voice was heard for a long time in the forest - she is still waiting for him!
