Description
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 Gros-bec casse-noyaux, Rougequeue à front blanc, Verdier d'Europe, Grive musicienne, Rossignol philomèle, Fauvette à tête noire, and Eurasian Loriot d'Europe, followed by frequent Mésange nonnette , and Gobemouche à collier. Pic mar is particularly common in this habitat, together with Pic noir as well as Pic vert.
The forest edge and surrounding fields hold Cigogne blanche, Western Busard des roseaux, Bergeronnette printanière, Tarier des prés and Tarier pâtre. From their bush-top positions, Bruant proyer sing, while Alouette des champs perform their song-flights. Close to mid-day, thermals start to rise, attracting Pygargue à queue blanche, Milan noir and, in winter, Milan royal too.

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.
