Bojčinska English Oak Forest Reserve by the village of Progar covers 670 hectares, and has about 110 bird species and some 60 species of mammals.
Once upon a time, vast forests of English oak blanketed the Sava River floodplain, all the way from Croatia down to the river’s confluence in Belgrade. Gazetted as the “nature monument” in 2013, one of the few remaining – Bojčinska Forest by the village of Progar covers 670 ha / 1650 ac, and has 108 recorded bird species and 60 species of mammals (1/3 of them are bats). In addition to oak, the forest is rich in hornbeam and narrow-leaved ash.
Common species include Picogordo Común, Colirrojo Real, Verderón Común, Zorzal Común, Ruiseñor Común, Curruca Capirotada, and Eurasian Oropéndola Europea, followed by frequent Carbonero Palustre , and Papamoscas Acollarado. Pico Mediano is particularly common in this habitat, together with Picamaderos Negro as well as Pito Real.
The forest edge and surrounding fields hold Cigüeña Blanca, Western Aguilucho Lagunero Occidental, Lavandera Boyera, Tarabilla Norteña and Tarabilla común. From their bush-top positions, Escribano Triguero sing, while Alondra Común perform their song-flights. Close to mid-day, thermals start to rise, attracting Pigargo Europeo, Milano Negro and, in winter, Milano Real too.

Zoom in on the map and click on the "P" (parking) sign for driving directions. Bojčinska Forest can also be reached by public bus 605, which departs from Ledine.
The circular trail marked at the map is 6.3 km long. It could be muddy in some parts, but it is also possible to shorten it to the western or the eastern half only.
King Alexander I of Yugoslavia was known for his hunting forays into this forest, only months prior to his assassination during a 1934 state visit to France. During WWII, the forest was used as a base of the local Partisan squad (the communist resistance), hiding in subterranean shelters. Fleeing from Nazis, local villagers were hiding there as well. Some of those shelters are still around.
After birding, you can have refreshments or breakfast at the Bojčinska Koleba restaurant, on the left hand side of the entrance road. If you want to stay longer, there are wooden cabins for rent.
