Well, that's a shame-you should definitely find it and post it here! :)

Could be that I saw one as well, but I have to check first my pictures (in the meanwhile back from 2 or 3 years), I am obviously too lazy with my own spottings...
Ursula
I did and it was exactly what I saw back in summer :)

Welcome! Should be the right one, must be the right one, certainly it is the right one... ;-)... But I am always happy, if people check my suggestions anyway...
Ursula
Will do. It is the right one. Thx bayucca!!
