Once upon a time, vast forests of Quercus robur , known as common, pedunculate, European or English oak blanketed the Sava River floodplain, all the way from Croatia down to the river’s confluence in Belgrade, Serbia.

In the more normal years, I would spend January visiting the very best wildfowling spots along the Danube and seeing the best birds there are, so in February I would be well saturated with birds and feeling: Still winter?

Absolutely thrilled!

A bit of history, when I started to bird, almost three decades ago (yes, in the last millennium) Herring Gulls were everywhere, including Serbia.
