Cattle Egret (Bubulcus ibis)

Excuse me madam but may I help you with these flies? There does seem to be too many even for a cow.

This was one of three Cattle Egrets searching the field for any insects they could find but this one approached the cow and started taking flies of the cow's face even taking them off the eyelids without the cow flinching. Such trust and cooperation.
