April 13, 2012 The Great Egret

Do you know how to distinguish the Great Egret from other egrets and herons? Well, apart from its sheers size, look out for its yellow bill and black legs – always a give away! And, if you want to distinguish an egret from a crane or a stork, look for the retracted neck in flight.
