It is easy to spot them because it moves slowly while concentrate on catching fish.

I agree as its Little egret as its mentioned on most of websites Snowy given in American. In Europe called it as Little.

Garzetta specie had 2 tails on head with white feathers.

Yes Alice.. You are right.. But I feel it is migratory "thula" specie.

I think in Hong Kong they call it Little Egret, though in the US we call it Snowy Egret.
