Great Egret in flight, its striking white plumage contrasting with the deep greens of the rainforest backdrop. An egret in flight forms a perfect horizontal spearhead as it gracefully glides low amongst the trees. Great egret can be easily recognised by their large size, yellow bill, black legs and black feet. Great egrets also retract their neck in flight, making them easy to distinguish from storks and cranes. Great Egret (Ardea alba).
