Funny how it bobs its head all the time and sometimes even wiggles its hips. Not a very graceful flycatcher, but surely effective enough. The vicious facial expression is also a sight to behold. A stunning behavioural video with some fantastic closeups into the bargain. I haven't known cattle egrets feed on insects up until now.
