Tringa stagnatilis

The Marsh Sandpiper, scientifically known as Tringa stagnatilis, is a graceful wader found in the wetlands and marshes of Croatia.

With its long, slender bill and distinctive white belly, it elegantly navigates the shallow waters in search of aquatic insects and small crustaceans. During migration seasons, Croatia serves as a vital stopover for these birds as they travel between their breeding grounds in northern Asia and their wintering areas in Africa and South Asia.

Their presence in Croatian wetlands highlights the importance of these ecosystems as crucial habitats for migratory bird species. Let's cherish the beauty of the Marsh Sandpiper and continue to protect the precious wetlands that sustain them.
