Bluethroat

In spring I was really successful in bird photography again. Stefan and I visited Lower Austria to the border of Czech Republic and Slovakia. Since this is the location where the Iron Curtain was there is still a lot of untouched nature. Due to different habitats and a lot of woodland, farmland and the water of the river and some ponds there are also a lot of habitats that encourage different bird species to live there. This is why this place is one of my favorite spots for bird photography here in Austria. On the farmland and the meadows a lot of birds of prey can be found. Birds that prefer reed are found near the ponds.

This Bluethroat was sitting on top of a tree and it appeared twice within several hours. I am very happy that I managed to take several pictures and a video of this bird since it is very seldom in Austrian and difficult to find.
