Description, Habitat & Prey Of The Cattle Egret

The Cattle Egret is a part of the heron family. It is a smaller bird, compared to other herons, with short legs and a thick, short neck. The cattle egret is often described as a compact size bird, as it is slightly larger than a crow but smaller than a goose.

Most of the year their feathers are white, but during breeding season they have plumes of yellow feathers on their necks, heads and down their backs. As for their legs and bills, these are also predominantly yellow throughout the year.

The cattle egret is native to Africa, but have found their way to other continents such as Asia, North America and more. Unlike other birds of the heron family, cattle egrets choose to dwell on fieldlands, riding on the backs of grazing cattle or bobbing about the grass.

They mostly eat insects, that is why they wander with large animals and even flock towards large machinery to catch prey flying up from the disturbed ground.

They nest together, creating large colonies of nests in either trees or wetlands, and often share these colonies with others of the heron family.

The beautiful cattle egret shown in the photograph above was taken in Udaipur, Rajasthan, India, by photographer Rakesh N.
