Welcome to JungleDragon!
This is a nice catch, but I am not sure about the species. Cattle egrets have yellow bills while this one looks darker. They are similar, but I guess this one is a little egret (Egretta garzetta). Posted 10 years ago

    I fixed the first one, but this is the second one, I am not sure which one you have in mind. If you are sure about this one you can just change the species ID yourself. Remove the little egret from the red X and identify it again. Posted 10 years ago
