  1. This amazing bird was photographed when I was looking to shoot some photographs about butterflies and little bugs. When this Egret landed on a carob tree, it was the right oportunity. Hope you all like it, and if you have any comments to say, please do it ! :) Posted 10 years ago

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.
