Oenanthe isabellina

Oenanthe isabellina, commonly known as the Isabelline Wheatear, is a migratory bird species that visits Croatia's open grasslands, steppes, and semi-desert regions during its migration.

Recognizable by its pale sandy-brown plumage and characteristic upright posture, the Isabelline Wheatear is an adept insect hunter, often seen foraging on the ground. This species plays a crucial role in controlling insect populations and maintaining the ecological balance of its habitats.

Conservation efforts focused on preserving open landscapes and preventing habitat degradation are essential for ensuring the survival of Oenanthe isabellina in Croatia. By protecting these vital environments, we can support the biodiversity and ecological health of the regions where this wheatear stops during its migration.
