Beautiful and coloful bee-eaters in lower Austria
The part of Lower Austria that Stefan and I visit now every year is a very good spot for some bird watching and bird photography. Not only the birds of prey but also smaller birds are numerous there. Another Highlight is the bee eaters colony there. These colorful birds can only be found on special places here in Austria and I am always happy when I see them. They are very colorful and often come in flocks. If you know a spot where these birds are breeding it is easier to get some nice pictures of them since they often hunt nearby and the trees and other elevated spots like the wires in a vineyard are great for them to sit and hunt.
