Last Weekend I visited the Storks in Lower Austria together with Stefan during our Photography tour there. It was again a very interesting and successful trip in terms of photography. I saw several different nice birds and could take a lot of nice pictures. But I have to admit that it was pretty hot and there where a lot of mosquitoes especially at the wetlands where the Storks breed. So usually I try to keep the visit limited to a few hours since I hate to be eaten by the mosquitoes, and there are a lot of mosquitoes due to the wet grasslands in the wetland that help them breeding in high numbers.

Because of these beautiful birds and other birds and animals that can be found there it is always worth a visit to watch and explore the nature and the birds there. I recently bought the Steiner SkyHawk 4.0 Binoculars and the Landove Spotting Scope which I already own for more than a year and both products are very good and nice for bird watching.
For a fast look and during scouting I often use the SkyHawk Binoculars and for Bird watching for example at the river shore or at a Lake I often use my Spotting Scope. These two Optics really help a lot in finding and watching birds and It also makes a lot of fun seeing them so close. Of course I also take my camera with me most of the time. But sometimes I am a bit depressed when I come home from a trip since I often saw so many different birds but only could take pictures of some of them since a lot of them where simply to far away for a good picture.

The Place with the Storks in Lower Austria is a famous destination for families since a lot of parents want to show their children the beauty of nature and see some animals outside of a Zoo. There is a nature education trail and it is part of a wildlife protection and preservation area of the WWF. The Storks live and breed here during the summer months and migrate back to Africa each year in autumn. The build very big nest in the trees or up on roofs of houses.
