Beschrijving
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 Krombekstrandloper, Kleine Plevier, Steltkluut, Kluut, Scholekster (rare so deep in the continent), Zilverplevier, Kievit, Bontbekplevier, Steenloper (rare so deep in the continent), Kemphaan, Bonte Strandloper, Kleine Strandloper, Watersnip, Oeverloper, Witgat, Groenpootruiter, Bosruiter, Tureluur. Among the breeding Kokmeeuw, there are few pairs of Zwartkopmeeuw. Due to the closeness of the river Danube, terns on migration are diverse: Dwergstern, Lachstern, Reuzenstern, Zwarte Stern, Witvleugelstern and, in the breeding season, Witwangstern.
Other species include Koereiger and Ralreiger, Wespendief, Syrische Bonte Specht, Groene Specht, Zwarte Specht, Grauwe Klauwier, Kleine Klapekster (uncommon), Oostelijke Vale Spotvogel, Spotvogel, Rietzanger, Bosrietzanger and Grote Karekiet.

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.
