Anthus richardi

Anthus richardi, commonly known as Richard's Pipit, is a rare and notable visitor to Croatia, typically found in open fields, grasslands, and agricultural areas during its migratory periods.

This large pipit is distinguished by its long legs, strong flight, and distinctive call. Richard's Pipit feeds primarily on insects and seeds, contributing to pest control and the health of its ecosystem.

Conservation efforts aimed at preserving open habitats and minimizing agricultural disturbance are crucial for ensuring the survival of Anthus richardi during its migratory stops in Croatia. By protecting these vital areas, we can support the diverse ecosystems that sustain this species and others.
