In the end, I opted for the Tamis River floodplain, north of Belgrade, and its fish farms, some non-operational, some selling daily angling licenses. Driving with open windows (to hear the birds) becomes unbearable and I am heading out of this fish farm. Watching carefully, yes, not one, but two.

While birding this weekend at Mason Farm, I spotted this pair of Gnatcatchers working on their tiny lichen and spiderweb cup in the crook of a broken Black Willow limb. They’re first brood are probably a couple weeks off still. The nest appeared to be almost complete, weeks before the real rush of neotropic migrants is set to arrive.

The mapping exercise works particularly well with birds confined to a specific habitat (Baranda fish farm S49396968 and Pecena slatina S49396887 ). Penduline T**s were impressively common, with more than 23 individuals recorded during the week, 14 of them in a single group in Centa fish farm (Vojvodina) S49396841.
