During my visit at Lake Neusiedler last weekend I was able to take several nice pictures of the "Short-eared owl" that flew over the meadow for hunting in the grass. The owl was visiting every time the same spot and that's why I was able to take so many picture of it. It was nice watching it and some time during flight it pounced on prey. I really liek birds of prey very much and also this Owl since it is a seldom bird to find here. I am happy that I was able to take so many pictures of it and I am already looking forward to find some more Owls soon.

Now in spring it is a lot easier to take some nice pictures of birds because a lot of them are looking for partners and show their courtship displays. It has large eyes, a big head, a short neck, and broad wings. Its bill is short, strong, hooked and black. The large Eyes make owls look really funny.
