Abstract
This paper presents the results of surveys of breeding waterbirds (species belonging to the families Anatidae, Rallidae, Recurvirostridae, Charadriidae, Scolopacidae, Laridae and Sternidae) on wastewater pool complexes of sugar refineries in Žabalj, Pećinci, Zrenjanin and Padinska Skela in Vojvodina (N Serbia) completed during the breeding season in 2001. The basic characteristics of the breeding niches are described, as well as similarities between the composition of breeding waterbird avifaunas of the study sites and wastewater pools of other sugar refineries in central Europe.
