Motacilla citreola

Motacilla citreola, commonly known as the Citrine Wagtail, is a migratory bird species that visits Croatia during its breeding season.

Distinguished by its vibrant yellow plumage and contrasting black markings on its head and throat, the Citrine Wagtail inhabits wet meadows, marshes, and riverbanks. This species feeds primarily on aquatic insects and small invertebrates found in its habitat. Conservation efforts focused on preserving wetlands and maintaining water quality are crucial for ensuring the survival of Motacilla citreola in Croatia.

By safeguarding these critical habitats from pollution and habitat loss, we can support the biodiversity and ecological health of the areas where the Citrine Wagtail nests and forages.
