Sterntaucher

My name is Mathias Braasch, living in Karlsfeld/Bavaria (close to Munich) now, but originally from Schleswig-Holstein. Thanks for visiting my profile and for Your pictures here as well as Your comments and messages.\ \ The german nickname "Sterntaucher" is the name of a bird from Europe's very north. The "Sterntaucher" comes to Central-Europe in winter only, when lakes in Scandinavia and the Baltic Sea are frozen or maybe when the birds think it's time for better wheather. During that period the birds wears a coat, which looks like a black sky with many white stars. That's the reason for the german name. In Danish it's name is "Rødstrubet Lom" or in Englsich "Redthroated Diver". That's not really poetic and because the germans are "The people of Philosophers and Poets" i choose the name "Sterntaucher", which can mean much more. ;-) Find it out.
