Opis
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 biegus krzywodzioby, sieweczka rzeczna, szczudłak, szablodziób, ostrygojad (rare so deep in the continent), siewnica, czajka, sieweczka obrożna, kamusznik (rare so deep in the continent), batalion, biegus zmienny, biegus malutki, kszyk, brodziec piskliwy, samotnik, kwokacz, łęczak, krwawodziób. Among the breeding śmieszka, there are few pairs of mewa czarnogłowa. Due to the closeness of the river Danube, terns on migration are diverse: rybitwa białoczelna, rybitwa krótkodzioba, rybitwa wielkodzioba, rybitwa czarna, rybitwa białoskrzydła and, in the breeding season, rybitwa białowąsa.
Other species include czapla złotawa and czapla modronosa, Trzmielojad, dzięcioł białoszyi, dzięcioł zielony, dzięcioł czarny, gąsiorek, dzierzba czarnoczelna (uncommon), zaganiacz blady, zaganiacz, rokitniczka, łozówka and trzciniak.

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.
