Cattle Egret

English Name Cattle Egret Afrikaans Name Veereier Photographer Elna Louw Location In my back garden (House 5, Cons Camp) Elna's Notes They like to frequent our gardens in the Cons Camp area during the rainy season. They are usually in large flocks, feeding from early morning on the numerous insects attracted by the lights in the camp during the night before. During the heat of the day they often sit around basking in the sun. Breeding males have a pinkish buff colouring on crown, back and breast.
