At the Birds of Prey Show in Mayerhofen

In summer 2018 I visited a Show of Birds of Prey at the Adlerbühne Ahorn in Mayerhofen, it was a fantastic show with these very beautiful birds. And it is probably the bird show that has the highest altitude here in Austria. Sad that I wasn't able to see these kind of birds in the real nature outside but still it was very beautiful with these captured birds of the show. Of course I prefer wildlife but shy and seldom birds like these are very very difficult to find and photograph. And of course in Austria there are only a few place where they can be found. In my opinion Owls are very beautiful birds and I am always happy when I see one. I know some places where I can find some long-eared owls but they are a 3 hour drive from my home.

Other Owls and birds of Prey are very difficult to find and I don't know any specific places but areas where they might be. And I already had a lot of luck to take some pictures in Lower Austria. A Show for Birds of Prey on the other hand is a much easier way to see them and take some pictures. These pictures are all from this bird show:

I love the yellow eyes of this Owl. Picture: Florian Glechner.

The Eyes of the Owls are always so "hypnotizing" to me. The yellow or orang color is very interesting and their big eyes always make them look some kind of funny. Of course they are not, Owls are silent hunters of the night and they can fly without making any noises.
