  1. Dear Dr Harsha,
    I do believe this is not a Great egret but a Cattle egret - Bubulcus ibis.

The western cattle egret is a species of heron found in the tropics, subtropics and warm temperate zones. Most taxonomic authorities lump this species and the eastern cattle egret together, but some separate them.
