Wood Sandpipers are one of my favorite wading birds and I like to take pictures of them when I visit Lake Neusiedler or if they visit the Danube River here in Linz. It is always a pleasure to watch these birds that close and I enjoy lying there in the mudd for pictures like these. Now in spring when all the birds come back I am already looking forward for some new bird photography that I will do when most of the birds will come back from the south. I will defenitely spend some time at the River bank and at the nature reserve for some bird photography again this year. I hope spring will be a lot better here than last year.

If you lie down on the ground the birds don't notice you that easy and come pretty close. Picture: Florian Glechner.
