Description
The “Donji Srem” Sugar Plant lies south of the village of Sibac (between Sibac and Pecinci), about 50 km west of Belgrade. The sugar plant is operational and the ponds can be quite smelly. There are three large ponds and several smaller. The large western pond is too deep for shorebirds, so focus on the shallower eastern one. An asphalt road passes by the eastern pond, the site of the breeding colony of Black-headed Gull, in some years with a pair or two of Mediterranean Gull among them. This spot is under-visited.
This site holds Spotted Redshank and Black-winged Stilt, together with Northern Lapwing, Ruff, Dunlin, Common Snipe, Green Sandpiper, Common Greenshank, Wood Sandpiper. Other birds to expect include Red-backed Shrike, Crested Lark, Marsh Warbler and Great Reed Warbler. Black Tern are present on migration, while Whiskered Tern is present in the breeding season too.

On the map, I marked not just the site, but a bit confusing turn-off from the main road as the route. For driving directions, zoom in on the map and click on the "P" (parking) sign.
