Cattle Egret
(Bubulcus ibis)

This section is still under construction! Although mostly functional, there is still plenty of information missing and many images are waiting to be added. We are working as quickly as we can...
Cattle Egrets are the smallest of the white egrets. The sexes are alike with all white feathers out of breeding season and yellow bill, lores and eyes.
They are adorned with rufous plumes and dorsal aigrettes in the breeding season, with an orange or red bill and legs that are shades of red.
Juveniles have black bills, legs and feet.
These birds are mostly silent however they do make a raucous croaking sound around breeding colonies.
