Cattle Egret

The cattle egret is a heron species who gained its name from its habit of removing and eating ticks and flies from cattle.

This bird has originated in central Africa and then spread to many other parts of the world during the 19th century as human activities, such as the expansion of agriculture and the cattle industry, created a suitable habitat for this species.

This heron species is usually found in meadows with cows, horses or sheep.
In Belgium however, it’s a VERY RARE visitor !
