The lake Veliko Blato also known as Mika Alas fish farm is a great place to come birding just outside center of Belgrade. The lake is surrounded by marsh vegetation and very rich in fish. Some of the highlight birds are: гусковидна патка, патка лажичарка, голем српоклун свиркач, голем воден бик, сипка торбарка and Речен цвркотник. In winter time there are flocks of waterfowl species, mostly гусковидна патка, сива патка, патка берија and црн кожувар.
