Oenanthe pleschanka

Oenanthe pleschanka, commonly known as the Pied Wheatear, is a migratory bird species that can be found in Croatia during its migration periods.

Distinguished by its black and white plumage with a striking black mask around its eyes, the Pied Wheatear prefers open rocky or stony habitats, including mountain slopes and arid plains. This species primarily feeds on insects and other small invertebrates found in its habitat.

Conservation efforts aimed at preserving open habitats, especially rocky and stony landscapes, are crucial for ensuring the survival of Oenanthe pleschanka in Croatia. Protecting these environments from habitat degradation, human disturbance, and climate change impacts is essential to support the biodiversity and ecological health of the regions where this migratory bird species is observed.
