Hirundo daurica

Hirundo daurica, commonly known as the Red-rumped Swallow, is a striking bird species found in Croatia, particularly in open habitats such as grasslands, farmlands, and wetlands.

Easily recognized by its deep chestnut-red rump and long tail streamers, the Red-rumped Swallow is known for its agile flight and graceful aerial maneuvers. These birds play a crucial role in controlling insect populations, feeding on flying insects caught in mid-air.Conservation efforts focused on maintaining suitable nesting sites and preserving diverse habitats are essential for the survival of Hirundo daurica in Croatia.

By protecting their nesting areas and ensuring access to insect-rich environments, we can support the continued presence of these beautiful swallows and promote biodiversity conservation in Croatia.
