Birds in Europe – Pipits and wagtails
Motacilla flava YELLOW WAGTAIL Non-SPEC (1994: —) Status (Secure) Criteria —
European IUCN Red List Category — Criteria —
Global IUCN Red List Category — Criteria —
Motacilla flava is a widespread summer visitor to most of Europe, which accounts for less than half of its global breeding range. Its European breeding population is very large (>7,900,000 pairs), and was stable between 1970–1990. Although there were widespread declines—most notably in Romania—during 1990–2000, other key populations (such as those in Russia, Belarus, Poland, Ukraine and Bulgaria) were stable, and the species probably underwent only a slight decline overall. Consequently, it is provisionally evaluated as Secure. No. of pairs ≤ 120,000 ≤ 350,000 ≤ 980,000 ≤ 5,300,000 Present Extinct Motacilla flava

CITRINE WAGTAIL Non-SPEC (1994: —) Status (Secure) Criteria —
European IUCN Red List Category — Criteria —
Global IUCN Red List Category — Criteria —
Motacilla citreola is a summer visitor to northern Russia and parts of central and eastern Europe, which accounts for less than a quarter of its global breeding range. Its European breeding population is large (>210,000 pairs), and was stable between 1970–1990. Although the trend of the stronghold population in Russia during 1990– 2000 was unknown, the species increased or was stable across the rest of its European range, and there was no evidence to suggest that its status deteriorated significantly. Consequently, it is provisionally evaluated as Secure.
