Sažetak
Wetlands are an important and endangered habitat in Europe, making fishponds valuable areas for biodiversity, especially for birds. Crna Mlaka fishponds are protected as an ornithological reserve and Ramsar site, but there are also two other carp-producing fishponds in the same Special Protection Area Pokupski bazen (Draganić and Pisarovina), which are not as recognized. As part of a national monitoring project, these three fishponds were monitored almost every month during a one-year period. This research aims to show the yearly dynamic of birds at these sites (wintering, breeding, and migrating populations) but also to define through comparison which features of habitats, management practices or recorded threats and pressures impact species diversity and population sizes. We recorded 92 species in total, with over 13000 individuals in one month. While all fishponds showed high biodiversity and many interesting records, Draganić stands out as having the highest number of individual birds per month in most months. Reasons for this may relate to differences in water level management, causing high quality habitat types such as bare mud to be available during key periods. We can conclude that Draganić is as relevant for birds as the more protected Crna Mlaka and should be considered for further protection. This research also consolidates that fishponds are essential for many bird species year-round and the co-existence of birds and humans should be nurtured in these areas.
