Thank you, there are lots here also but not many cattle so they make do with sheep, horses, or whatever else stirs up insects. They seem to have a great liking for large grasshoppers, I hope to post pictures and videos of one eating a very large one whole in the future - it was towards the end of this bird trip I am posting for at the moment and I'm still on the first week!

Beautiful in flight shot. I love cattle egrets and they frequent my horse pasture often.
