The Egrets!!! There is not a day when I cannot find even a single Egret in the paddy fields adjacent to our home near the grazing cow. A perfect symbiosis exist between these two species. While the  cow grazes, it disturbs lot of insects like grasshoppers which provide a sumptuous meal for the Cattle Egrets. With white plumage, black slender legs and bright yellow beak, they are a fascinating sight, especially when they are highlighted against a green background!

 

 

These birds don on a gaiety buff for their breeding plumage!

 

 How do you like this punk? :) This one I took from Ranganathittu, Mysore. It was obviously parading for attracting its mate.
