The Eurasian Spoonbill is a very beautiful big bird that is visiting Austria usually during summer. There are only a few spots where you can find them one is Lake Neusiedler in eastern austria and the other spot where I found it was the Inn River in Upper Austria. I am proud of these pictures that I did of them at Lake Neusiedler some time ago. Stefan and I visited a spot where we could see these birds in the shallow water and took some pictures out of the Car window. The Car helped us to get close to the birds and have some kind of "mobile hide". One of the most interesting scenes here was when the yound spoonbill was begging for food from its parents as you can see in the first picture here.
It tried several times and even in the group of other birds but they all fought back and didn't want to give him the food since he should already be old enough to find it's own.
