The Cattle Egret has many common names. These mostly relate to its habit of following cattle and other large animals, and it is known variously as cow crane, cow bird or cow heron, or even elephant bird and rhinoceros egret. Its global population estimated to be 3.8–6.7 million individuals.  This picture was taken in Safaripark Beekse Bergen, zoo and safaripark in Hilvarenbeek, the Netherlands.
