Beschreibung

In Tara Mountain National Park 80% of the area is covered by forest, 85% of it consisting of Norway Spruce, Silver Fir and the European Beech. Altitude ranges from medium 1000 m up to the 1591 m high Kozji Rid peak.

There are 140 bird species recorded within the national park, 96 of them breeding in recent years. Among the reasonably frequent in the right habitat (= possible and, with some focused effort, realistic) to even common species are Haselhuhn (beech and mixed forests), Wachtelkönig (larger meadows), Habichtskauz (with over 70 territories, the commonest owl in the park’s mixed forests), Grauspecht (mixed forests), Grünspecht (forest edges) and Schwarzspecht (all forests), Tannenhäher (conifer and mixed forests), Tannenmeise, Haubenmeise, Weidenmeise, Balkanmeise, Wintergoldhähnchen, Sommergoldhähnchen, Misteldrossel, Gimpel, Girlitz and Fichtenkreuzschnabel. Also, breeding Ringdrossel and Waldschnepfe. The rarest species are Zwergschnäpper, Weißrückenspecht , Sperlingskauz and Raufußkauz.

Some of the mammalian highlights of the national park are brown bear (relatively numerous, but rarely seen), chamois (frequent), roe deer (common), wildcat, European pine marten, and Eurasian otter.
