A tiny remnant of once vast English oak forests that blanketed the River Sava floodplain, mere 10 km west of Belgrade.
Jakovački ključ English oak forest is one of the few still-standing floodplain areas with more than two centuries old oak forests. The forest, also known as SRC Surčin, has 160 hectares and almost 140 so far recorded bird species. Along the northern edge lies a canal, formerly a part of the River Galovica, adding Sarcelle d'été, Guifette moustac, Cormoran pygmée, Blongios nain and Bihoreau gris to the scene but, in warm days, also a line of numerous anglers.
I particularly like Jakovački ključ in winter, when bare branches allow you to actually see all those forest birds: Pinson du Nord, Bouvreuil pivoine, Mésange noire, Roitelet huppé, Roitelet triple-bandeau, Grive draine, Grive mauvis, Gros-bec casse-noyaux, Tarin des aulnes, etc. Woodpeckers include Pic mar, Pic épeichette, Pic vert and Pic noir.
Later in spring, my preferred season becomes April (migration peak / early breeding season for resident species), because the oak leaves are not fully formed, making birds a bit more visible than later: Pouillot siffleur, Grive musicienne, Rossignol philomèle, Gobemouche noir, Rougequeue à front blanc, Rougequeue noir, Gros-bec casse-noyaux, Serin cini. The canal is adorned with Rémiz penduline and Rousserolle turdoïde and the surrounding fields with Huppe fasciée. Also, there is about 50 pairs-strong colony of Héron cendré with several pairs of Bihoreau gris near the tarmac-covered football field in the SW.
Zoom in on the map and click on the "P" (parking) sign for driving directions. Jakovački ključ forest may also be reached by public bus 602, which departs from New Belgrade, Block 44. The trail marked on the map is about 6 km long. Insect repellant is a good idea in summer.
Once this forest was a recreational centre (SRC Surčin) with volleyball and tennis courts, and bungalows for rent belonging to Yugoslav Army. Yet, after the 1990s army personnel refugees permanently settled the bungalows in the centre of the forest, turning it into a suburb of Surčin. Hence, nowadays there is a city connection by public transport system. Saddly, locals tend to use this forest as an unofficial rubbish tip.
