🌍 Meadow Pipit (Anthus pratensis)

The Meadow Pipit is a small, slender bird with a brown back and a buff-coloured, heavily streaked breast. It has dull pink legs and a long hind claw. Meadow Pipits are common throughout the Palearctic, including much of Europe and Asia. They are migratory over most of their range but are year-round residents in western Europe. They prefer open habitats like grasslands, moorlands, and coastal marshes. No subspecies are recognised. 2.5 Flash (Edited)

Fun fact: During the breeding season, the male Meadow Pipit performs a fluttering "parachute" display flight high in the air.

Conservation status: Least Concern (IUCN 3.1)

🌍🌏 White wagtail (Motacilla alba)

The white wagtail is a small and slender bird, with distinctive grey, black, and white plumage. Its most recognizable feature is its long, constantly wagging tail. It has a vast distribution, breeding across Europe, Asia, and parts of North Africa, with some populations in Alaska. While resident in milder areas, many northern populations are migratory, wintering in Africa and southern Asia. White wagtails are highly active and often found in open areas, frequently near water or human habitation. They forage on the ground with a characteristic bobbing head and tail movement. 2.5 Flash (Edited)

Up to eleven subspecies are currently recognised.
