Anthus pratensis

Anthus pratensis, commonly known as the Meadow Pipit, is a small passerine bird frequently found in Croatia's grasslands, meadows, and open fields.

Recognizable by its streaked brown plumage and characteristic undulating flight, the Meadow Pipit plays a significant role in the ecosystem by feeding on insects and seeds, which helps in pest control and seed dispersal. Conservation efforts focused on preserving open grasslands and meadow habitats are essential for ensuring the survival of Anthus pratensis in Croatia.

Protecting these areas from agricultural development and habitat degradation will help maintain the biodiversity and ecological health of these vital landscapes.
