ABSTRACT |
This study highlights a concerning decline in pied wagtail abundance during winters, likely due to prey
scarcity and environmental stressors. Despite their adaptability in foraging behavior, the population trend suggests
underlying ecosystem issues. As bioindicators, pied wagtails can provide valuable insights into field ecosystem health.
We recommend prey surveys, pesticide residue monitoring, stakeholder engagement, habitat management, and long
term monitoring to conserve wagtail populations and promote ecosystem health. This study serves as a foundation for
further research and conservation efforts, emphasizing the importance of interdisciplinary approaches to environmental
conservation |
