They have a rufous patch on their flanks and a distinctive, rufous-based tail. Found in a variety of wetland habitats across Europe and Asia, including marshes, bogs, and fens. They are migratory, breeding in the north and wintering in southern Europe, Africa, and Asia. Bluethroats are insectivores, foraging for insects on the ground or in low vegetation. Eleven subspecies are recognised. Conservation status: Least Concern (IUCN 3.1) 📷: Photo by Takashi_Yanagisawa via Pixabay IEQC
