Common Redschank Still in the Seewinkel part of Burgenland. One of about 300 breeding pairs that arrive in March and leave again in July. Very common along the edge of shallow ponds.
Great (or Common) Egret I may have posted a similar picture a year ago. Here at the edge of Lake Neusiedl in Austria they are abundant. The reeds form a nice backdrop and a good hiding and nesting place. A few get as far north as Vienna. Some also breed in the Netherlands, and 2012 one breeding pair was spotted in the UK.
Pied Avocet - a common wading bird along the shores of the brackish ponds in Burgenland, Austria. They 'scythe' their bills from side to side searching for minuscule crabs and insects.
