The Wachau valley is famous for its high-quality wines, but also a nice area for birding. häcksparv, klippsparv, trädlärka and biätare are just some of the species you can see there. Other nice birds are sommargylling, Härfågel, göktyta, gråspett and törnskata. See the extended list below. For the complete list of breeding birds you can go to the website of the Ornithologische Arbeitsgemeinschaft Wachau (OAGW), which is the local Consortium which looks after the birds in the Wachau, see the link below.
