Short Description:

Cattle Egrets are widespread in Pakistan, with populations found across the country, especially in regions with marshes, ponds, rivers, and agricultural fields. They are often seen in proximity to cattle, hence the name “Cattle” Egret, where they feed on insects and small vertebrates disturbed by the movement of grazing animals.
These egrets are highly adaptable and often display a symbiotic relationship with livestock. They forage in grasslands and agricultural fields, following grazing animals to catch insects stirred up by their movement. Cattle Egrets are known to form communal roosts, gathering in large numbers in trees or reed beds, particularly during the breeding season. During courtship displays, breeding adults develop striking orange-buff plumes on their heads, necks, and backs.
