through the link that is at the bottom of each of my posting:

There is a PUG, PESO and several others there ...

Well, that is just the geese, the grebe families and swans are
even closer by, they live in the canals in my home town Almere ...
OTOH, you have photographers heaven B&H almost arround

Thanks for all the comment!
