Tringa glareola

The Wood Sandpiper, scientifically known as Tringa glareola, is a graceful migratory bird that frequents the wetlands and marshes of Croatia.

With its slender, long-legged silhouette and distinctive bobbing motion as it forages for aquatic invertebrates, the Wood Sandpiper adds a touch of elegance to its wetland habitats.

During the breeding season, these birds embark on long-distance migrations from their wintering grounds in Africa and southern Europe to breed in the boreal forests of northern Europe and Asia. Their arrival in Croatia heralds the onset of spring, bringing renewed vitality to the wetlands.

With its melodic calls and aerial displays, the Wood Sandpiper contributes to the symphony of sounds and sights in Croatia's natural landscapes. As stewards of our wetlands, we celebrate the presence of these beautiful migratory birds and strive to protect their habitats for future generations to enjoy.
