I'll be staying in Vienna for a few days in August.
I would like to ask which are the best places within the city and around for birdwatching. Is it possible to see the White-tailed eagle without going too far from the city centre? I'm also interested in the various species of woodpeckers in Austria (Picus canus, Dendrocopos syriacus, Leiopicus medius, Dendrocopos leucotos, and the much rarer Picoides tridactylus). I've seen that Lainzer Tiergarden is a good spot for all woodpeckers except for the three-toed, as well as for Red-breasted flycatchers, which I'd also like to see. I've also seen there are old records for some of these species around Schonbruun, are they still around?
Any help will be appreciated, thank you sm in advance!
