Motacilla alba

Motacilla alba, commonly known as the White Wagtail, is a widespread and familiar bird species in Croatia, often seen in open areas such as fields, riverbanks, and urban environments.

Recognizable by its striking black, white, and gray plumage and characteristic wagging tail, the White Wagtail is an active forager, feeding on insects and small invertebrates. Conservation efforts focused on maintaining clean waterways and open habitats are essential for ensuring the survival of Motacilla alba in Croatia.

By protecting these environments from pollution and habitat loss, we can support the biodiversity and ecological balance of the areas where the White Wagtail thrives.
