The Alps and lake Neusiedl

Lake Neusiedl as a popular birding destination combined with high Alps south of Vienna can produce surprisingly diverse fauna, especially birds. Thus you can watch Snowfinch and Alpine Accentor one day and spent the other day at natron lakes with many Red-crested Pochards, Avocets and Black-winged Stilts around.
Austria has been offering good birdwatching for many years. Neusiedl is a famous place and attracts thousands of birds every spring. You can overlook large fields with ease in a flat and open landscape and spot distant birds with a fair chance to recognize a rarity. The high Alps rise south of Vienna to over 6000 feet. Alpine meadows host typical alpine squadron that includes Golden Eagle, Alpine Accentor, Water Pipit, Bonelli´s Warbler, Snowfinch, Alpine Chough and sometimes also Ptarmigan and Wallcreeper.
So well preserved habitats and such a great span of elevation simply must yield a satisfactory list throughout this week long holiday.
