Actitis hypoleucos

Actitis hypoleucos, commonly known as the Common Sandpiper, is a small migratory bird species that frequents the shores and wetlands of Croatia during its seasonal migrations.

Recognizable by its brownish plumage, white belly, and habit of teetering as it walks along the water's edge, the Common Sandpiper is a charming sight along Croatia's coastlines and water bodies.

These birds forage for small invertebrates, crustaceans, and insects in the shallow waters, showcasing the rich biodiversity of Croatia's aquatic ecosystems. Let's celebrate and protect the natural habitats that support these beautiful migratory birds.
