Description

Kalemegdan Park is situated at the 60-metre-high cliff that once was the town field within the Belgrade Fortress. The high position offers some extraordinary views at the junction of the rivers Sava and Danube, as well as a landing spot for numerous birds.

The most common residents of the park are Gråspurv, Musvit, and pigeons. The scattered conifers host numerous Gulirisk in the spring and summer, just to be replaced with Fuglekonge and Rødtoppet Fuglekonge in the late autumn and winter. Knopsvane, Gråand, Skarv, and Dværgskarv are beneath the walls at the riverbank, while Mursejler and Alpesejler are flying above. Husrødstjert and Husskade are often spotted on the old walls of the fortress. Kirkeugle finds its home in the holes of old buildings around the park.
