On one of my trips to Lower Austria this spring we were able to find a nice new place where Bee Eaters live and fly around. They are nesting in a Loess wall and hunt for bees and other insects near the wine fields. Because this Loess wall is situated in between a walking route these birds are used to humans. A lot of people pass by the walls several times a day and therefore it is pretty easy to get close to these birds.

Until tuday i already now several places where I can find these beautiful birds in Austria and also one in Hungary. I hope next spring and summer I can visit several nice places here in Austria again. I would also like to visit some places in Hungary and in the Czech Republic but this is depending on the Covid-19 Regulation if I will be allowed to visit them next year. I hope the vaccine that is in the production at the moment will give us back the "normal" we used to know.
