Black Winged Stilt breeding

When I visit lake Neusiedler in Eastern Austria I really like taking pictures of wading birds in the shallow water and because a lot of spots there only have very few water and it is very shallow, it is pretty easy to get closer to birds like these black winged stilts here. Lake Neusiedler is also the only place here in Austria where I can fild these birds. There are a lot of different bird species there but since the water is getting fewer and fewer there also the birds are declining in numbers.

Thats why this year I visited Lake Balaton instead of Lake Neusiedler and I managed to get some nice pictures of birds and other animals there too but not really special ones. So I am looking for some new spots where bird photography is still possible and easier than on the spots I usually go.
