Cattle Egret in breeding plumage (Bubulcus Ibis)

Transformation from a white body and a yellow/orangish beak to these lovely colours at the time of breeding is, I think, simply amazing.

Ranganathittu Bird Sanctuary, Karnataka, India
Date taken
20th April, 2008
Scientific name
Bubulcus Ibis
Equipment used
Canon 40D, Canon 100-400L-IS
Lovely image Hari, well done you, welcome to Birdforum.Net, look forward to seeing more of your bird pics.
 
I saw about 4 today but not in their breeding plumage. A wonderful shot showing those stunning colours.
