Eastern Cattle-Egret in flight

Eastern Cattle-Egret came about as a species when what was formerly called simply Cattle Egret (which had the scientific name Bubulcus ibis) was split along geographic lines into this species and Western Cattle-Egret (A. Ibis). [See here for a couple of images of that species www.flickr.com/photos/luminouscompositions/50653843567/in... and www.flickr.com/photos/luminouscompositions/50886060492/in... ]

This Eastern Cattle-Egret was seen at the famous bird-rich wetlands of the Bueng Boraphet Non-hunting Area in Nakhon Sawan province, Thailand.
