Birds in Neighbourhood - 13

I get to see variety of birds around my parents house in Udupi. I have captured few of them in my camera and one such beautiful bird is Cattle Egret. 

It is a stocky heron that is white in color. It has a relatively short thick neck, sturdy bill, and a hunched posture. The adult bird has mainly white plumage, a yellow bill and greyish-yellow legs. 

During the breeding season, they develop orange-buff plumes on the back, breast and crown, and the bill. They prefer drier and open habitats more than other heron species. They are often seen accompanying cattles, catching insect and small vertebrate prey disturbed by these animals.
