Motacilla cinerea

Motacilla cinerea, commonly known as the Grey Wagtail, is a striking bird species found along the fast-flowing rivers, streams, and wetlands of Croatia.

Recognizable by its long tail, bright yellow underparts, and slate-gray upperparts, the Grey Wagtail is known for its distinctive tail-wagging behavior. This bird primarily feeds on aquatic insects and other invertebrates, playing a crucial role in maintaining the health of freshwater ecosystems. Conservation efforts focused on preserving clean, unpolluted waterways and maintaining natural riparian habitats are essential for ensuring the survival of Motacilla cinerea in Croatia.

By protecting these vital environments, we can support the biodiversity and ecological integrity of the regions where the Grey Wagtail thrives.
