Andy Yip :: Cattle Erget (Ardea ibis)

Feeding on insects disturbed by grazing cattle, these egrets will also perch on the backs of cattle to rest or pick parasites from the hide. They roost and nest in large colonies alongf waterways. The male chooses the nesting site and builds the nest of sticks in the upright fork of a tree. Both parents incubate the eggs.
