Hahah, soon you will start crying for croatia :). You are just lucky when it comes to spottings that's why it was there :)

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