Good morning loons, this is without a doubt the Snowy Egret as Ashley has suggested.
Loonszeto
For anyone who knows I just assumed that it was a snowy egret and as I said I am no expert so is this some other egret or was I right?
Loonszeto
Cool I'm not an expert on egrets so what other kinds of egrets are there?
LarryGraziano
Hello Loons, I have removed this from the Rare Colour Morph mission as this Snowy Egret's colouring falls within the norm for the species. Thank you.
