Cattle egret - Bubulcus ibis Cattle egret - Bubulcus ibis<br />
South Bulgaria, 28th June 2021<br />
As far as I am informed, this is the second record in Bulgaria of nesting cattle egret. In a mixed colony of Squacco and Night herons, Little egrets, and Glossy ibises. This photo is taken from a great distance with an equivalent of an 800mm lens.

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.
