Yesterday I reported on the Cattle Egrets teaching Little Egrets to follow the cattle to feed amongst them are they kicked up insects. Talking to Frank Cackett it seems the black billed 'Little Egrets' are in fact juvenile Cattle Egrets, their bills turn yellow as they mature. So today there were 5 juveniles amongst the adults proving they are breeding on the reserve, most likely with their cousins in the sanctuary.
Every day a school day with the natural world!
