Beskrivning
Once upon a time, vast forests of English oak blanketed the Sava River floodplain, all the way from Croatia down to the river’s confluence in Belgrade. Gazetted as the “nature monument” in 2013, one of the few remaining – Bojčinska Forest by the village of Progar covers 670 ha / 1650 ac, and has 108 recorded bird species and 60 species of mammals (1/3 of them are bats). In addition to oak, the forest is rich in hornbeam and narrow-leaved ash.
Common species include stenknäck, rödstjärt, grönfink, taltrast, sydnäktergal, svarthätta, and Eurasian sommargylling, followed by frequent entita , and halsbandsflugsnappare. mellanspett is particularly common in this habitat, together with spillkråka as well as Gröngöling.
The forest edge and surrounding fields hold vit stork, Western brun kärrhök, gulärla, buskskvätta and svarthakad buskskvätta. From their bush-top positions, kornsparv sing, while sånglärka perform their song-flights. Close to mid-day, thermals start to rise, attracting havsörn, Brun glada and, in winter, röd glada too.

King Alexander I of Yugoslavia was known for his hunting forays into this forest, only months prior to his assassination during a 1934 state visit to France. During WWII, the forest was used as a base of the local Partisan squad (the communist resistance), hiding in subterranean shelters. Fleeing from Nazis, local villagers were hiding there as well. Some of those shelters are still around.
After birding, you can have refreshments or breakfast at the Bojčinska Koleba restaurant, on the left hand side of the entrance road. If you want to stay longer, there are wooden cabins for rent.
