In mid-December, I was birding along the Beljarica levee (Beh-LYAH-ritza), my local patch north of Belgrade, when something other than birds attracted my attention: three Wild Boars. Even among the protected areas of Serbia, Djerdap National Park stands out as better preserved than most. Finding birds in Belgrade. The Southwest.

A sounder of Indian Boars is watching us from the jungle. They belong to a long-maned subspecies Sus scrofa cristatus (like four-legged Greco/Roman crested helmets) and are my second race of boar seen in India, while I still remain the only Serbian birder who has never seen one closer to home! Good to know.

In the morning, still sleepy, we enter the jungle, where a sounder of Indian Boars (a long-maned subspecies Sus scrofa cristatus ) is watching us, standing among the first trees, right next to the road. These days, the species shares habitats with Tigers, Snow Leopard, Bears, etc. One White-eyed Buzzard has turned its back to us.

The forest grows on the new lakeshore and it, too, is a mere 15 years old, but already provides an important corridor for large mammals such as Roe Deer and even Brown Bears , which sometimes come down to feed on beans. The lake water level dropped 10 metres in only 15 years and I was now driving along the old lakeshore. Maps and guides.

It’s the boar hunting season. The soil is disturbed by foraging boars (and there is not a single shot from those hunters). The WBW remained elusive like a bear (for me at least – a month ago, Georgos met a mother with two cubs, took a few photos, then dropped down and played dead). Enough of the mountains.

It is also native to Japan, where it is protected and protectively studied to the point where Slaght had trouble getting any information.). The fish owl is Jonathan Slaght’s grail and also, more prosaically, his dissertation topic.
