Beschrijving
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 Zomertaling, Witwangstern, Dwergaalscholver, Woudaap and Kwak 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: Keep, Goudvink, Zwarte Mees, Goudhaan, Vuurgoudhaan, Grote Lijster, Koperwiek, Appelvink, Sijs, etc. Woodpeckers include Middelste Bonte Specht, Kleine Bonte Specht, Groene Specht and Zwarte Specht.
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: Fluiter, Zanglijster, Nachtegaal, Bonte Vliegenvanger, Gekraagde Roodstaart, Zwarte Roodstaart, Appelvink, Europese Kanarie. The canal is adorned with Buidelmees and Grote Karekiet and the surrounding fields with Hop. Also, there is about 50 pairs-strong colony of Blauwe Reiger with several pairs of Kwak near the tarmac-covered football field in the SW.

NeeExtra info
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.
