    Dimorphic vs. Little Egret (Zanzibar)

    From the tread your linked: What do you mean with "a slightly drooping tip"? Do you mean to bill get's a bit paler to the tip?

    Dimorphic vs. Little Egret (Zanzibar)

    Thanks for adding some more photo's. @ Tib78: Do you consider your's all as Dimorphic? The black spots and primaries and secondaries are mentioned as charasteristic of white morph dimorpha. Typical that all these birds have the yellow feet of garzetta.

    Dimorphic vs. Little Egret (Zanzibar)

    By some considered as subspecies, by some as species. It doesn't matter to me, the question stays the same... ;-) The dark morphs I have seen fits in perfectly with the description you gave me. The "The bill in some populations is thicker than that of garzetta, although this is not universally...

    Dimorphic vs. Little Egret (Zanzibar)

    Hi guys, Few weeks ago I visited Zanzibar, Tanzania. Although it was mostly a relaxing holiday, we also spend some time birding. Along the coast, lots of egrets were present at low tide. Only at the part near our resort, I would say around 20-40 each day. Both Dimorphic and Little Egret should...
