Description
Located on the mild northern slopes of Dedinje Hill, Hyde Park enjoys a slightly cooler microclimate compared to the usual Belgrade city parks. The park is dominated by deciduous forest, with few conifers scattered through the forest itself and in the gardens of the surrounding households. In front of the Museum of Yugoslavia, there is a clearing with a fountain that usually attracts a variety of birds of semi-open habitats. The street southeast of the fountain leads to a little quiet square that often holds a few surprises, especially in winter.
The park hosts numerous woodpecker and thrush species. Sortspætte, Mellemflagspætte, and Stor Flagspætte can be found in the main forest, while Grønspætte, Lille Flagspætte, and Syrisk Flagspætte are at the forest edge or around the fountain. Misteldrossel is the park's regular winter guest, usually found in the trees around the fountain and in the northern parts of the forest. Sjagger and Vindrossel can also be found in winter, although they are not regular. For Treecreepers, look around the few confiers scattered deeper into the forest.
In summer, the main forest is full of Solsorts and Munks. During migration, the park is visited by not-so-common species, including Gærdeværling, Gærdesanger, Broget fluesnapper, Hvidhalset Fluesnapper (spring), Skovsanger, and Grå Fluesnapper (autumn).
Hyde Park is best visited in March and early April, although winter is also a quite good season.
