Egret Little (Egretta garzetta) juvenile – Cape West South Africa

Full Size

This was thought to be Western Reef Heron (Egretta gularis) white morph but Ian Sinclair believes it is a juvenile Little Egret(Egretta garzetta) that at times may have greenish legs and also because the bill is not broad enough.  My old friend Tony Tree queried this sighting out as it would have been very rare to see it in the Cape Town area.
