  1. Are you sure about the ID? They look more like intermediate egrets to me. Posted 10 years ago
    1. Oh my ... Wildflower thank you for commenting. And I am sure you are right. To be honest, they kind of seemed "strange" as I am used to Cattle Egrets in flocks. These two were alone. Thank you so much for the info ... I will correct it now. Posted 10 years ago

The intermediate egret, median egret, smaller egret, or yellow-billed egret is a medium-sized heron. Some taxonomists put the species in the genus "Egretta" or "Ardea". It is a resident breeder from east Africa across the Indian subcontinent to Southeast Asia and Australia.
