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 čajka smejivá, in some years with a pair or two of čajka čiernohlavá among them. This spot is under-visited.
This site holds kalužiak tmavý and šišila bocianovítá, together with cibík chochlatý, bojovník bahenný, pobrežník čiernozobý, močiarnica mekotavá, kalužiak perlavý, kalužiak sivý, kalužiak močiarny. Other birds to expect include strakoš obyčajný, pipíška chochlatá, trsteniarik obyčajný and trsteniarik veľký. čorík čierny are present on migration, while čorík bahenný 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.
