Observation details

Exact count. 19 Cattle Egrets with a group of cows (cattle 😊). Small stocky white egrets with short necks and yellow dagger-like bills. Many in breeding plumage showing some orange patches on head, back, and chest. The large number caught our eye in passing so we returned to observe and get an exact count.
