Little Egret

Egretta garzetta

This small white heron hunts by wading and stirring up small fish or crustaceans with its bright feet before striking with its slender, pointed bill. On Lihou’s causeway a Little Egret may appear like a white silhouette against the shoreline, carefully pacing through shallow pools. Its graceful stance and quick, darting movements make it a memorable sight for any visitor.

  • Habitat: Marshes, mudflats, tidal lagoons, and rocky shores for feeding.
  • When to See: Year-round
  • Length: 55–65 cm
