Description

Hemsted Forest is rich in different bird species. It has a gently undulating landscape and a mix of conifers and broad-leaved trees. This makes for some beautiful views across open areas and through the less-dense undergrowth beneath the evergreens. Wide hard-stone surfaced paths criss-cross the forest, together with numerous more wild and less accessible trails. Among the birds you can encounter are кукавица, шумска шљука, јастреб кокошкар, глувчар, кукумјавка, Шумски (Обичен) був, голем клукајдрвец, зелен клукајдрвец, гавран, елова сипка, мала црноглава сипка, дологоопашеста сипка, црноглаво грмушарче, градинарско грмушарче, Lesser Whitethroat, жолтоглаво кралче, Обичен (Шумски) лазач, обичен ползач, царче, имелов дрозд, лисест дрозд, дрозд боровинкар, дрозд пејач, северна ѕвингалка, зимовка, обична зелентарка, елова зелентарка and билбилче.
