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 House Sparrow, Great Tit, and pigeons. The scattered conifers host numerous European Serin in the spring and summer, just to be replaced with Goldcrest and Firecrest in the late autumn and winter. Mute Swan, Mallard, Great Cormorant, and Pygmy Cormorant are beneath the walls at the riverbank, while Common Swift and Alpine Swift are flying above. Black Redstart and Magpie are often spotted on the old walls of the fortress. Little Owl finds its home in the holes of old buildings around the park.
