Cattle Egrets at base of Table Top, south side

Cattle egrets have had an interesting and controversial history locally, particularly in relation to their well-documented colonistation of the Toowoomba Bird Habitat - along with the White Ibis, and the public amenity issues and population control measures that arose. Please post any further anecdotes and observations you may have here ...

Cattle Egrets at base of Table Top, south side

Post by Fielded »

Hello

I travel along Blanchview Road 3 to 4 times a week and have regularly seen Cattle Egrets (usually less than 10) perhed on, and following, cattle around the paddocks at the base of Table Top in the late afternoon (around 5pm). In January, I also had a flock of about 20 birds come and perch in my Eucalypts in the yard. I also saw flocks of nearly 30 Egrets flying west toward Toowoomba within the Flagstone Creek valley.

Cheers

Darren.

A quick update - I haven't seen any Cattle Egrets at this location for April/May. Or anywhere else for that matter...
