Description
Part of the Topčiderski Park includes very old trees (some are several centuries old) and short-grass lawns. There is also a small patch of secondary forest in urban environment, a scenic lake, a canal with concrete banks. The holes in the old trees are used for nesting by kavka obecná, špaček obecný, žluna zelená, brhlík lesní, strakapoud prostřední and other hole-nesting birds. There are also many holub hřivnáč, pěnkava obecná and other open-nest species. The park is characterized by temperature inversion, so it is always several degrees colder than in the surrounding hills. In winter konipas horský and smaller sandpipers appear at the banks of the canal. Many ducklings of kachna divoká are seen in summer.
