Cattle egret, breeding plumage

Cattle egret, breeding plumage (Bubulcus ibis)

There's a record of these birds breeding at a local wildlife park where they nested on top of an enclosure where captive birds were breeding. Hopefully they are breeding elsewhere as there were at least three birds in this plumage on the farm.

A stunning shot, Adrian.
These birds keep getting reported in Gloucestershire - and I keep missing them!
