On the 4th January 2009 while atlasing around the Disaneng Dam I came across this pink colored cattle egret which was among other normal cattle egrets.On the 27th April 2009 I saw it again in the same area. The photos I took of it were not so good in both instances.
Today once more I came acros this funny bird still among other cattle egrets perched on top of a thorn tree. This time I manged to take some photos of it even though it was at a distance.
I am looking for someone who can give me an expalanation on this finding.
I just sighted one in Botswana. It seems to be pink whereas his/her companions have yellow in the same places. Could be diet. Flamingos are naturally white, but turn pink due to diet of shrimp.
ReplyDeleteHi Moi,
ReplyDeleteI am still chasing the bird for a better shot.
Thanx for the explanation.

Mpho
