Eastern Great Egret



Tallest of all the Egrets with very long shaped neck with at full stretch is longer then the body lenght, a useful diagnostic feature.
Feeds on inland wetlands, moist grasslands and coastal mudflats and nests mostly with other egrets and herons in small loose colonies. Flat twig nest placed in a tree mostly over water.
