Also commmon are Γαλαζολαίμης, Μαυρολαίμης, Αετομάχος, Σταχτοκεφαλάς, Σχοινοποταμίδα, Πορφυροτσικνιάς, and Καλαμόκιρκος.

NoExtra info
Currently, the new highway Belgrade-Zrenjanin-Novi Sad is being built immediately north of the hotspot. There might be a lot of machinery and a lot of noise, but new ponds may also arise because of earthwork.
Mužlja Reeds and Sands are sometimes a paintball polygon, hopefully not at the time of your visit.
