Description
I sat one hour in the public bird blind and got two new species for my photo collection: this Arctic tern (lapintiira) and a Slavonian grebe (mustakurkku-uikku).All three similar-looking tern species were fishing. A Mallard family paddled past and coots had cooty business. A Mute swan sat on a nest. And guess what, this nature reserve is a 32 minutes busride and walk from the heart of the city.

Of course, drawing from ref is not copying, it's re-creating. Please include the long tail bits, that's how you identify this arctic tern from the common tern.

Sure it's not really copying, but it's using the art of someone else to re-create your own art. So I feel more comfortable asking the photographer if that's alright with them. 
Thanks so much! I'll take care of the tail!
