Hirundo rupestris
Hirundo rupestris, commonly known as the Eurasian Crag Martin, is a species of swallow found in Croatia's rocky and mountainous regions.
Distinguished by its brownish-gray plumage and white patches on the underparts, the Eurasian Crag Martin is adept at navigating rugged terrain and cliffs where it builds its nests. These birds feed primarily on flying insects, contributing to pest control in their habitat. Conservation efforts focused on preserving rocky habitats and nesting sites are essential for ensuring the survival of Hirundo rupestris in Croatia.
By safeguarding these specialized environments and promoting sustainable land management practices, we can protect the Eurasian Crag Martin and support biodiversity conservation efforts in Croatia.
