Motacilla flava

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

Recognizable by its bright yellow plumage, the Yellow Wagtail inhabits a variety of open habitats such as meadows, fields, and wetlands. This species feeds primarily on insects and small invertebrates found in the vegetation and on the ground.

Conservation efforts focused on preserving diverse habitats and maintaining suitable nesting sites are essential for ensuring the survival of Motacilla flava in Croatia. By protecting these critical environments from habitat loss and degradation, we can support the biodiversity and ecological balance of the areas where the Yellow Wagtail breeds and forages.
