Bird Families of the World

African Pipit

Wagtails, Pipits and Allies are birds of grasslands, pastures, and prairies. Pipits have brown plumages. Wagtails are more grey, black, and white, often with a patch of yellow. Longclaws combine the browns of one with the yellow (or even red) splashes of the other.


The family is Motacillidae

There are 66 species placed in 7 genera

So far I have photographed 29 different species.

To make it easier you can find the genus name combined with the species name (visible when displaying the photograph)
