Our greater spotted eagle Tõnn has continued to study the Baltic Sea coast. In Germany, he visited Berlin then flew onward to Poland and from there over the Kaliningrad oblast to Lithuania. On May 4th, in Latvia, he slightly deviated from his northern course, moving west and instead of Estonia wound up in the Latvian region of Kurzeme—what Estonians call Kuramaa. But dry-land birds don’t especially enjoy flying over huge bodies of water, and Tõnn journeyed a bit around the Kura peninsula and turned toward Lithuania, to set a new course from there.

 

Today at 14:00 hours, Tõnn was again in Latvia, this time near the town of Jēkabpils.

 

 

Flying north from here will put Tõnn in Estonia—if that’s indeed what he still wants…
