Glareola nordmanni
The Black-winged Pratincole (Glareola nordmanni) is a striking migratory bird that graces Croatia's skies during its annual journeys.
With its sleek body, distinctive black underwings, and long wings, it's a captivating sight as it swoops and dives over wetlands and riverbanks in search of insects. Croatia provides important stopover sites for these birds during their migration, offering vital resting and feeding grounds before they continue their long journey to their breeding or wintering areas.
By preserving and protecting these wetland habitats, we can ensure the continued presence of the Black-winged Pratincole and other migratory birds in Croatia's ecosystems.
