Description

The hilly country around the small hamlet of Bela Reka, southwest of the much visited Mt. Avala nature reserve, is a traditional farming landscape. One of a few remaining pockets of the grassland and woodland mosaic that used to cover the countryside south of Belgrade, before intensive agriculture and widespread development. Here you can stroll across grassy meadows rich in wildflowers and insect life, perfect habitat for grassland-loving species such as Bruant ortolan (Bela Reka has one of the largest concentrations of this species around the capital), Bruant jaune, Tarier des prés, Alouette lulu, Caille des blés and Perdrix grise.

Bordering the meadows are well-preserved, diverse hedges which harbor many nesting Pie-grièche écorcheur, Rossignol philomèle and Fauvette grisette. In winter, being rich in sloe and hawthorn berries, these hedges attract flocks of Grive litorne, Grive mauvis, Grive draine and in some years Jaseur boréal. Right next to these open landscapes are shady woods of oak and hornbeam, criss-crossed with small streams, where breeding Pic noir, Pic mar, and migrating Gobemouche à collier and Gobemouche noir in spring are guaranteed. Also breeding in these woods is Bécasse des bois which may be heard and observed on spring evenings. You are also very likely to see Autour des palombes, hunting in low flight over the fields and hedges, and soaring Bondrée apivore.
