Your card for July 28, 2017

[Lalita Rudy]

The African pied wagtail is not a shy bird, and it can often be found near a home or at a campsite, scavenging for food. This specie of wagtail, which is less common than the Cape wagtail, is very conspicuous and has a loud piping call.

This species has an extremely large range, and hence does not approach the thresholds for Vulnerable under the range size criterion The population trend appears to be stable, and hence the species does not approach the thresholds for Vulnerable under the population trend criterion  The population size has not been quantified, but it is not believed to approach the thresholds for Vulnerable under the population size criterion 10% in ten years or three generations, or with a specified population structure. For these reasons the species is evaluated as Least Concern.
