Cattle egret

Bubulcus ibis

Description:

It is a white bird adorned with buff plumes in the breeding season. It nests in colonies, usually near bodies of water and often with other wading birds.

Habitat:

La Albufera, Valencia.

Notes:

Making pics of these birds was extraordinarily difficult even though they are abundant in the marshes neard roads in La Albufera. If you are in a car is Ok but try to get out and they will immediately set flight. I wonder how much this is due to illegal hunting happening in this area.
