Spoonbills are one of the most beautiful wading birds that you can find here in Austria. And except during migration there is only one spot here in Austria where you can find them, Lake Neusiedler in easter Austria. They love wading through shallow water and filter the water with their spoon shaped bills for food, fish, insects ...
