Description
The Tamiš river springs in Romania in the Carpathian Mountains as a mountain stream, but enters Serbia near Jaša Tomić village as already a slow Panonian river. The whole Tamiš river flow in Serbia is through a floodplain with many fish farms, ponds, reedbeds, and humid grasslands. Both sides of the river are guarded with embankments, although the Tamiš floodplain sometimes spreads even several kilometers away from the river bed, forming a relatively large wetland area around the river. As such, Tamiš embankments are great for birding along the entire course through Serbia, with the section around Neuzina being one of the best in the upper half.
In spring, look for sandpipers on the remaining ponds around the embankment and warblers in the reedbeds and scrubby and humid grasslands south of it. In summer, flocks of plevica and žličarka overfly the embankment, while in winter they are replaced by flocks of geese overwintering at the nearby fish farms.
The area is part of the 'Landscape of exceptional features Potamišje' and 'IBA Gornje Potamišje'.

Access
The best access to the Tamiš embankment near Neuzina is from the village itself. Park at the end of the paved road at the very edge of the village, or continue via local unpaved road to the embankment and park there. The local road from the village to the embankment can be pretty productive for birding, so it is probably better to cover it on foot. For directions, press P on the map below.
Once on the embankment, choose the left or the right side you want to cover for a day, as the embankment is very long and properly covering both sides during one visit is a hard call. The dirt road on the embankment is passable by car.
