Cattle Egrets Roosting in Yoff

224
A colony of Cattle Egrets (Bubulcus ibis) rests on bare branches in Yoff. Their white plumage and communal behavior are characteristic, especially during breeding season when light buff hues may appear. Native to Africa, these adaptable birds symbolize harmony between wildlife and agriculture, often following livestock to feed on disturbed insects.
