Hello Everybody!
Today I gone back to el Hondo to observe again Tõnn and I had the good surprise to find him on the tree just when I arrived at 9:00am. I had the chance to observe him a certain time, all the morning he was disturbed by three Western Marsh Harrier, here are some pictures.

Hello to all!

Mehdi , thanks for the wonderful shots! In your first photos (November 25th), Tõnn was also chased by Western Marsh Harrier?

thanks again mehdi it is always great to see tönn! cool pictures

one question: do you call him up, prior to leave for el hondo to fix an appointment or is he simply waiting for you in a certain place?

enjoying very much your talent as photographer would you not love to share your observations f.i. on ebird.org and put also your photos in the affiliate database?

Thank you very much . Yes Tatyana, there is a thugs group of three Western Marsh Harrier who hunt all the time in this area and since Tõnn arrived they don’t stop bother him. It's surprising because last year I didn't observe that. Perhaps because he arrived later this year in El Hondo.

Thank you very much Pica for these compliments . We operate by telepathy, do not be jealous, he loves me very much . It's a joke... I'm really lucky and patient, I know more or less his habits and his sectors (which are not always accessible). It is not always easy. I must be very discreet to not disturb him and to not catch the attention of some photographers who want take pictures to the detriment of the tranquility of birds. Thanks for the ebird.org site I would see how it works when I have a little time.

Hello to all!

Mehdi, thank you very much!
Did you notice if the Tõnn hunt was successful? Three competitors - this is a problem! Will they push Tõnn off his hunting grounds?

Hello !!! his hunting area is very large and varied I do not think they can push hem off. In the photos of the 24th, he seems to have something in his stomach (pictures where he is perched on the tree). I continue to observe it and I will bring you to the heart.

Many thanks MEHDI, great pictures!!!

Hello Everybody,
I'm new in the Forum but I'm following Tõnn from 2017. I was there to welcome him in 2017 and 2018 at his fist day arrival and I had the chance to some pictures of him. This year again, I was there yesterday to welcome him, it was a windy day but again I had the chance to take some pictures at his first day arrival , I'm happy to share them with all. Enjoy!
