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 (Ευρωπαϊκή) Κάργια, (Ευρωπαϊκό) Ψαρόνι, Πράσινος Δρυοκολάπτης, Δεντροτσοπανάκος, Μεσαίος Δρυοκολάπτης and other hole-nesting birds. There are also many (Κοινή) Φάσσα, (Κοινός) Σπίνος 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 Σταχτοσουσουράδα and smaller sandpipers appear at the banks of the canal. Many ducklings of Πρασινοκέφαλη Πάπια are seen in summer.
