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 Kızıl kumkuşu, Küçük halkalı cılıbıt, Uzunbacak, Kılıçgaga, Poyrazkuşu (rare so deep in the continent), Gümüş yağmurcun, Kızkuşu, Halkalı cılıbıt, Tasçeviren (rare so deep in the continent), Döşüşkenkuş, Karakarınlı kumkuşu, Küçük kumkuşu, Su çulluğu, Dere düdükçünü, Yeşil düdükçün, Yeşilbacak, Orman düdükçünü, Kızılbacak. Among the breeding Karabağ martı, there are few pairs of Akdeniz Martısı. Due to the closeness of the river Danube, terns on migration are diverse: Küçük sumru, Gülen Sumru, Hazar sumrusu, Kara sumru, Akkanatlı sumru and, in the breeding season, Bıyıklı Sumru.
Other species include Sığır balıkçılı and Alaca Balikçil, Arı Şahini, Alaca Ağaçkakan, Yeşil Ağaçkakan, Kara ağaçkakan, Kızılsırtlı örümcekkuşu, Karaalınlı örümekkuşu (uncommon), Ak Mukallit, Sarı mukallit, Kındıra kamışçını, Çalı kamışçını and Büyük kamışçın.

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.
