Happy Cattle Egret

This Cattle Egret was walking in some tall grass in the Algarve region in Portugal.

I was happy for this bird that he found a tasty meal but felt bad for the giant bug.

 

This bird is a species of heron.

Unlike most other herons, it feeds in relatively dry grassy habitats, often with cattle or other large mammals. It catches insect and small vertebrate prey disturbed by these animals. It also captures ticks and flies from cattle.
