Anthus cervinus
Anthus cervinus, commonly known as the Red-throated Pipit, is a striking migratory bird species that can be observed in Croatia during its migration periods.
Recognizable by its reddish throat and streaked brown plumage, the Red-throated Pipit inhabits wet meadows, marshes, and coastal areas. This species feeds primarily on insects and seeds, playing a vital role in controlling insect populations and aiding seed dispersal. Conservation efforts aimed at protecting wetlands and coastal habitats are crucial for ensuring the survival of Anthus cervinus in Croatia.
By safeguarding these critical areas, we can support the diverse ecosystems that these birds depend on during their migration.
