    Egret photo ID, Niltava and Flycatcher song IDs, Guangxi, China

    Egret photo ID, Niltava and Flycatcher song IDs, Guangxi, China

    Photo 2 could surely only be a Great Egret, presumably ssp modesta. In my part of central Japan (well north and east of Guangxi) all of the egrets / herons (Great, Intermediate, Little and Grey) are in breeding plumage (I haven't seen any Cattle this year yet).
