Medium Egret

4 sections

The Medium Egret also known as the Intermediate Egret, is a medium-sized white waterbird that bridges the size gap between smaller egrets like the Little Egret and larger ones such as the Great Egret. This elegant bird is a common sight in Australia's wetlands, where its clean white plumage and yellow bill make it identifiable, though it can sometimes be confused with other egret species
