TOOTSI (birdmap info)
... his migration route ended in northern Germany on September 10. The tracker data showed that Tootsi landed near Greifswald and did not fly again. He walked along the bank of the ditch for a few hours and finally died there. ... Tootsi's body was taken to the Rostock research laboratory, where an autopsy did not identify the shooting, but an attack by a larger bird of prey. The bird of prey was probably an white-tailed eagle, from whose claws Tootsi escaped, but had to give up his life.
VIHM (birdmap info)
... Vihms migratory instincts lead him to south, with longer stop over in Serbia, near Belgrad, Danube flood plains. There Vihm perished in evening November 12...
