Near the Airport in Linz, there must be good thermal flight conditions, because I often see birds like the common buzzard hunting on the fields nearby. Also, a lot of other birds seem to like it, so you can find meadow birds like lapwings and curlews as well as other birds of prey like falcons and red kites. Next spring, I will definitely visit this place for some pictures of the lapwings. The best time is the early spring when the crops on the fields are still very short grown.

I also found a lot of buteos in other parts of Austria, since they are pretty common birds of prey here. In Lower Austria I found buteos near Bernhardsthal and the March - and Thaya River. I think they are very beautiful and I hope I can take also several pictures of these birds in the future.
