Description
While the sugar plant between Kovin and the Danube, about 50 km east of Belgrade, is closed, the triangular ponds are nowadays filled up by the pet food factory effluents, and can be quite smelly. Yet, being next to the Danube floodzone, the area is rich in wildlife and has more natural feel about it.
Local waders include белокрстен свиркач, мал пескар, Црвенонога сабјарка, сабјарка, остригар (rare so deep in the continent), сиво блатарче, калуѓерка, среден пескар, камењарче (rare so deep in the continent), бојник, обичен свиркач, мал свиркач, обична бекасина, речна тринга, шарена тринга, зеленонога тринга, шумска тринга, црвенонога тринга. Among the breeding езерски галеб, there are few pairs of медитерански галеб. Due to the closeness of the river Danube, terns on migration are diverse: мала чигра, дебелоклуна рибарка, касписка рибарка, црна рибарка, белокрила рибарка and, in the breeding season, белобрада рибарка.
Other species include чапја говедарка and жолта чапја, осојад, сириски клукајдрвец, зелен клукајдрвец, црн клукајдрвец, обично страче, мало страче (uncommon), сиво гушанче, жолто гушанче, мал трскар, блатен трскар and обичен трскар.

Access
While an asphalt road passes next to the pond, the turn-off is somewhat unusual and I marked it as a route on the map. If you reach the ponds by car, park at the beginning of the route (driving along the levee is prohibited and the barrier is often closed and locked). For driving directions, zoom in on the map and click on the "P" (parking) sign.
