      Vielen Dank Mathilda! Es ist keine Möwe. Es ist eine Fluss-Seeschwalbe. LG Gunilla

      Tack Pia! Jag var lite rädd att den skulle storkna, men det gick bra till slut.

    May be "common", but still a very handsome. Like how you caught him standing solitary on the rock enjoying lunch! He looks determined to finish.
