Tõnn's Travels

[Michi]

I am awfull sorry, Michi, for your distress - étang is indeed not english, it is a french word. Search for 'swamp', 'wetland' and the like and you have it.
Any other problem, Michi?

Wow, I'm deeply impressed.
The only problem is that you set different standards for yourself than you do for others.
Maybe you should think about it.

Tõnns surroundings today, 07.11.2019.
View to north, viewing height is about 1,1 km.



Thank you again, Hellem, Sova and all for documenting Tõnns paths. It is really interesting to follow him. And so nice to see that the French people are observing him closely.

Sorry to interrupt. Normally I am a silent reader of this interesting and well-documented topic.
But unfortunately, your translation is not correct.

l'étang = the pond, the pool
(like a fish pool, not a swimming pool, that would be la piscine)

the swamp = le marécage, le marais

the wetland = le marais, la zone humide

Of course, sometimes ponds can be found in a wetland.

Thank you for pointing this out to me.

Remarque de Éric Chaput :Vers 8h00, Tonn, en vol, surgit face à moi dans l'axe du chemin à 150m, dans la frondaison, s'élève et passe au-dessus des arbres vers l'ouest.
GT: Remark Eric Chaput: Around 8:00, Tonn, in flight, appears in front of me in the axis of the road at 150m, in the foliage, rises and passes over the trees to the west.

Hello to all!

Very interesting topic! And Tõnn's journey, and links, and even linguistic notes - everything is very interesting! (I’m only afraid that my English is ... )
Do you think Tõnn will fly to Spain or stay in the winter in France?

And a small group is growing! Thank you so much !!!
 

[sova]

Good morning Tatyana

Hello to all!

...
Do you think Tõnn will fly to Spain or stay in the winter in France?
...

I was already worried ... but as you can see, Tönn still has enough time

28.10 2036 km (+125 km), Tõnn flew to the SW direction and sent data from his overnight place near Oberliezheim in Germany

sova , in 2017 Tõnn arrived in El Hondo on December 12

i sent a mail to claude nardin in the name of the estonian fan club here and thanked for sharing observations and pictures with us.

hello all

the lovely spouse of claude nardin did reply to my mail.

they want to thank you all for the wonderful possibility to follow tönn from close. apparently tönn was also in the press, celebrity…

they will revert with pictures, i’ll inform you.

wish you all a happy weekend

There was an addition to Willy Hugedets observation yesterday:

Très belle observation de Tõnn à 12h35 en compagnie de Guy Pascal. Toujours sur site, semble s'être reposé au Nord de la RN57 côté Saône. À noter rectrice gauche la plus externe pendante

Could someone translate that last sentence (in bold)?, the online translators just give rubbish

Found some weather cams around Besançon, maybe one can see him live https://www.yr.no/place/France/Franche- ... n%C3%A7on/

À noter rectrice gauche la plus externe pendante
Could someone translate that last sentence (in bold)?, the online translators just give rubbish

(plume) rectrice - steering feather (in birds)

Perhaps so:
"The left outer steering feather should be noted."

[pica]

Could someone translate that last sentence (in bold)?, the online translators just give rubbish

@ sigge, rectrice is the feather of the tale. so the feather at left is hanging. but one question: when i compare the pictures of both observers, there are clearly differences in both birds. see the tale of claude nardins pictures and the one of willy hugedet. maybe it is because of the rain... but in the right wing it is also different. what do you think?

Hello, all

Hello, sigge

"À noter rectrice gauche la plus externe pendante"

une rectrice = a feather of the tail
gauche = left
externe = outward

"To be noticed: the outermost tail feather on the left side is bending downwards." (is pending, hanging)

Possibly Tõnn is losing that tail feather?

Oops, I see that pica already wrote it too. And Tatyana

[sova]

sigge, Tatyana, pica, Anne .... Thank you

does tönn now plan to take an airplane for the rest of his trip?

[pica]

but one question: when i compare the pictures of both observers, there are clearly differences in both birds. see the tale of claude nardins pictures and the one of willy hugedet. maybe it is because of the rain... but in the right wing it is also different. what do you think?

hellem, sova, anne, tatyana, michi, sigge and all
