Tringa ochropus
The Green Sandpiper, scientifically known as Tringa ochropus, graces the wetlands and water bodies of Croatia with its elegant presence.
With its distinctive greenish-brown plumage and teetering gait as it explores muddy shores, this migratory bird adds a touch of charm to its surroundings. During its migration from its wintering grounds in Africa to its breeding grounds in northern Europe and Asia, the Green Sandpiper makes a stopover in Croatia, offering birdwatchers and nature enthusiasts a glimpse of its beauty.
With its probing bill and agile movements, it forages for aquatic invertebrates, contributing to the ecological balance of wetland ecosystems. As stewards of Croatia's natural heritage, let's celebrate the presence of the Green Sandpiper and work towards conserving the wetlands that support its migratory journey.
