Great egret perched upon a tree on the edge of the Kinabatangan river running through the Borneo rainforest. Great egrets feed in shallow water, often along the edges of rainforest rivers, feeding mainly on fish, frogs and insects. Great egrets stand completely motionless whilst patiently waiting to use their long sharp bill to spear their prey. Great Egret (Ardea alba).
