Cattle Egret

The birds are common all over the country. A familiar sight to all of us is the presence of large flocks of these birds in the company of grazing cattle, on the lookout for disturbed insects.
Sexes are alike, however in the breeding season, the male develops a orange-brown hue over the head and neck.
 

It is distinguished from the Little Egret (see label: Egret) by its beak, which is yellow and not black.
