Cattle Egret - Bulbulcus ibis
Came across a sizeable group of these egrets in breeding plumage at the Pivot Fields today.
The pivot was in full spray - turn it off and this would be desert. Dubai is an artficial home for birds in many respects but it makes for some interesting visitors !
A small group of these birds has taken up residence in the very South of the UK doing what they do - hanging around with some italian bison imported for cheese production.
