Vienna birding info (1 Viewer)

[picknage]

Hi all,

Im about to go to Vienna for a few days from the UK. Ill be with family so wont have too much time for proper birding but am interesting in any good place to see birds in or around Vienna and also any species that I might see that dont occur too often in the south of England,

Many thanks in advance,

Nick Page

Hi Nick

There's two articles here in Opus, that may keep you going until someone comes along with some more specific information for you.

Hope this helps

Hello,

Vienna is not far( 40 miles ) from lake Neusiedler See.
For birdlife I think this is the hotspot of Austria.

I'll second what Dieter had to say; try getting out to Neusiedler See for a bit.

Otherwise, check out www.bird.at and you might want to post on our forum to see if any of the vienna birders can help you out. you are welcome to post in english
(unfortunately, I tend to stick to the mountains in the west so know very little about where to go birding down there)

hope you have a good time

got back a couple of days ago and had a great time. didnt get to the lake but saw some nice birds in the city parks, lots of hooded crows were a new bird for me, and fantastic looks at nuthatches. didnt have time to get into the proper woods to see any woodpeckers though. but the city was great. nick
