Media notes
Recorded at Hippo Pool. Myles comment that he is very surprised to hear this egret make this particular sound. His notebook lists the following entry: "Mix-up of calls. Squacco and Great White Egret. Don't trust? Green back heron? Announcement RE above--Great White Egret had yellow bill." Certainly this is an unusual call. Myles was walking up on the bird as you can hear in the recording. Possibly this could be an alarm and flight call combined. Two birds can be heard: One is a Squacco Heron.
