In June, I visited the Neusiedler See National Park in eastern Austria with two other photographers. It was our first time there, but we got some tips for locations from other photographers (thank you again). After arriving just in time to for sunset at the campground St. Andrä am Zicksee on the first day, we wasted no time and went straight to the lake next to the campground with our cameras.

After a successful first evening and a really short night, we took our bikes to explore more of the National Park. I was especially amazed by all the colourful flowers. We pretty much spent the whole day riding our bikes and photographing birds. Luck was on our side and we even found a long-eared owl with its chicks. Back at the campground we did not stop, as we pitched our tents next to a family of Ziesels (a species of ground squirrel).

The next day started early again and was once more full of photography. After we got back to our tents at night, it started to rain heavily. During the night, I noticed, that my old tent is not 100% waterproofed anymore. Luckily, it was rather warm and our last night. The next morning was rather slow. After packing up our stuff we visited a bee eater colony before heading back home.

Below you can see some results from the trip. Enjoy :)
