Egretta garzetta
Familiar white heron. Bill long and dark and legs black but with diagnostic yellow feet. Adult has trailing head plumes in breeding season. In flight, wings broad and road. A partial migrant, most numerous March-September. Small numbers remain in region throughout the year.
Breeds locally in colonies on extensive wetlands; much more widespread during migration times and in winter.
