Pink Colored Cattle Egret at Disaneng Dam
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.
