Yellow-billed Egret
Where to spot
Freshwater wetlands, marshes, rice paddies, and damp grasslands throughout Africa, Asia, and Australasia.
How to spot
Look for its all-white plumage, yellow bill (often reddish in breeding), and relatively short, thick neck. It has a less exaggerated 'S' curve to its neck compared to larger egrets.
When to spot
Year-round. Best observed during daylight hours, often foraging in shallow water.

During breeding season, the Intermediate Egret develops fine, hair-like plumes on its back and breast, and its bill may turn reddish-orange.
