Little Egret and Cattle Egret
Little Egret (Egretta garzetta) is one of the smaller white egrets in this region, easily distinguished from other similar species by their relatively slender black bill and legs. It is almost always associated with waters, often seen waiting for prey in shallow waters, or wading and picking food off the water’s surface and occasionally dashes in pursuit of its prey. The Cattle Egret (Bubulcus ibis) appears similar, but it is stockier with yellow bill and tend to be found in dryland habitat as well as habitually perch on trees in large numbers.
