The last of the Bull and the Bird

The last of the Bull and the Bird (Ardea Ibis)

I include this photo of the cattle Egret because the Bull is sitting down while eating. When the cattle are not moving about they are not disturbing the insects on the ground for the egret to feed on. This Egret has hopped on to the back of the Bull where there seems to be many little black insects on the bull for it to feed on.
