Least Concern

The Western Yellow Wagtail is a wagtail, pipit, or longclaw of South, East, and Southeast Asian forests, wetlands, mountains, and seasonal migration routes. It forages actively on the ground or along water edges for insects, seeds, and small invertebrates, and many species undertake long seasonal movements between northern breeding grounds and warmer winter habitats.
