Don't mention it too often, I'm pretending I'm still south ;D (hate you :P) In Croatia for such things you have to go to the forest while this one I have seen it in the busiest center of the city!

Nice one! How uninteresting are the spottings there compared to Croatia? I'm going South and you are going North :).
