On July 1st 2007 an egg was laid by a Pied Oystercatcher that was known to be an adult in 2002 and had been banded in nearby Roebuck Bay. They fed well in that area and by 18th September 2007 the young Pied Oystercatcher had learnt to fly. A second egg was laid the following day and the two eggs hatched at the end of the month.

March 2007. Sitting in a car parked by the roadside, I am observing a distant electricity pylon. It is barely visible, but on it there seems to be an endangered Saker Falcon. Gentle March sun, bare oak branches, short grass, and bird migration in full swing. Since the spring has come early, the latter was the norm of the day.

Oddly, in 1936 this mountain was declared a national park, the first in Serbia, but in 1946 it was stripped of its title and got a lower protection status, further confirmed in 2007. Officially a mountain, it is more of an oversized hill than a true mountain.
