The Great White Egret

Name: Ardea alba
Location found: Manshac
Habitat: wetland areas

The Great Egret feeds in shallow water or drier habitats, feeding mainly on fish ,frogs , small mammals, and occasionally small reptiles and insects, spearing them with its long, sharp bill most of the time by standing still and allowing the prey to come within its striking distance of its bill which it uses as a spear. It will often wait motionless for prey, or slowly stalk its victim.
