Description

Belo Brdo ('White Hill') is a Neolithic archeological site (4000 B.C.) in Vinča that is also a great place for gull watching. Thousands of gulls come to the Danube River near Vinča in winter. There is also a 'gull highway' connecting the Belo Brdo with Belgrade city's main landfill, with thousands of gulls flying in both directions over the hilly slopes of Vinča.

Озерная чайка, Средиземноморская чайка, and Хохотунья are common in winter, while Сизая чайка and Клуша are very often spotted. Sometimes Серебристая чайка and Морская чайка, can be seen, although they are pretty rare in Serbia.
