Descrizione
This little known but still beautiful place is located south-east of the city center. It presents a great mixture of habitats, including field, meadow, forest, marsh and city habitats. The fields and pastures are connected to the rest of Belgrade through Veliki Mokri Lug and Kumodraž, so it can be easily accesed. It boasts a great deal of birds year-round, with there being both common birds like Capinera, Gheppio, Passera mattugia and Picchio rosso maggiore and birds that are less common and hard to find near urban areas such as Culbianco, Stiaccino, Picchio cenerino, Spioncello, Balia dal collare, Gruccione (be aware that many of the mentioned birds are not always there, you have to visit at the right time and have some luck).
The best time to visit is winter when many finch species are regular, including Ciuffolotto, Frosone, Peppola, Lucherino, Fanello and Cardellino, as well as many thrush species like Cesena, Tordo sassello, Merlo, and Tordela. Regular in winter are also Regolo, Fiorrancino, Passera scopaiola, Alzavola, Cincia mora, Scricciolo, Pispola and many others. In winter, all of the water birds come to the ponds. Germano reale can be seen from late autumn to may(can be spotted in flyovers year-round). Alzavola is here from late autumn but leaves before spring begins. Porciglione and Gallinella d'acqua are guaranteed from october to april, but moorhens can stay longer(maybe even present year-round). Beccaccino, Piro piro culbianco and Piro piro piccolo can be spotted in winter, and are not always there.
During spring migration, many different birds can be seen, including leaving trushes and finches, and incoming birds, like Cicogna nera, Cicogna bianca, Stiaccino, Cutrettola, Upupa, Luì piccolo, Tottavilla, Usignolo, Rondine, Rondone comune, Codirosso during the early and middle parts of migration, and Gruccione, Averla piccola, Torcicollo, Strillozzo, Rigogolo, Bigiarella, Sterpazzola Quaglia and Assiolo in later parts of migration.
Although spring and summer are a bit worse in variety than autumn and winter, they still offer great birding. Especially in this period should you be looking out for less common flyover birds in this area and terrain, including Rondone maggiore, Lodolaio and Topino. Nibbio bruno, Nitticora, Cuculo, Garzetta, Beccafico can and all have been spotted in this period.
Autumn migration marks the end of summer and the arrival and passage of many birds, like Prispolone, Luì verde, Averla piccola , Usignolo and Pigliamosche in great numbers, but you can also find Balia nera and Luì grosso, Falco pecchiaiolo is a common flyover here, and even Usignolo maggiore (a very rare bird in Serbia) has been spotted here for 2 years in a row.
All of these birds are here because of the diversity of this place, mentioned earlier. It is important to know what habitat to visit for the right type of bird. So for example, if you want to see Gufo comune and Civetta you should search the streets and roofs and backyards of houses. If you want to see Picchio verde and nesting Rigogolo, you should search the trees and tree lanes scattered all around the place, especially in Veliki Mokri Lug. Houses and backyards in Stari Vinogradi street regulary house Regolo, Ciuffolotto, Civetta, Assiolo, Cincia mora, Rigogolo, Codirosso and many others.
For some of the birds mentioned, you have to be lucky and search at the right time. Many birds have been sighted here that you will almost definetly not find because of their rarity for the region or habitat. Exampes include Albanella minore, Astore Falco pellegrino, Rondone pallido, Usignolo maggiore, Albanella pallida, Falco pescatore, Zigolo capinero, Canapino maggiore Cannaiola, Cannareccione, Cannaiola verdognola, Nibbio reale, Beccaccia and others.
A stunning Belgrade city panorama stretching half the horizon can be seen at the slopes parallel to the Stari Vinogradi ('Old Vineyards') street. From there, the wast greeny hillside towards the Kumodraž suburbs can be observed, with numerous Gazza, Corvo comune, Cornacchia grigia and occasional Sparviere or Gheppio. Small herds of goats and sheep are still grazing these greeny slopes, protecting the meadows from overgrowing with scrubs.
This location is also great for planespotting. Standing on the earlier mentioned viewpoint at the very entrance and the top of the hill, you can see most of the city, including a silhouette of the Nikola Tesla airport. Every plane landing or taking off from the east side of the airport will be very low in the sky, where you can get a great look at it because of the open terrain and panorama view.
So far, there are 135 confirmed species in this birdingplace, but including bordering terrains (like Stepin Gaj birdingplace) that number is as high as 165!
In conclusion, take some time to visit this birding place before the constant urbanization conquers it fully. You will certainly not regret it.

Conditions can be pretty muddy after the rain, thus prepare the boots if you plan to leave the paved roads.
If you plan on venturing deeper looking for birds, you should be wary about dogs. Even though they likely have an owner and rarely show up, they can group up and potentialy become aggresive and start barking. Means of defense (like pepper spray) are recommended.
The terrain is very uneven and sometimes hard to traverse and there are many grass roots(surprisingly tough) that can get your leg stuck, so you should be careful.
Always wear pants or trousers that cover your legs completely if you want to venture in deeper grass looking for birds, there are a lot of thorns and seeds that can cut you or get stuck on you.
