Cattle egrets returning to type

After work I met Cath in Parc de la Tete d’Or.

As we walked around I could see egrets on the ground near some deer. They must be les herons garde boeuf doing what les herons garde boeuf are meant to do.

Before today I had only seen them in the trees but this was more like the behaviour I would expect.

We then walked through the zoo and saw some more exotic birds.

And as we were leaving we saw a red squirrel too. Quite the menagerie.
