Great documentation! The Little Egrets seem to have a mix of feet colours even on one bird. How many Little Egrets and Great Egret nests are there? You have one photo of a breeding plumage Great Egret. I presume it will be breeding.
30,000 birds in one hectare is an average of 3 birds for every square metre so presumably most are not breeding at the same time

It is so heartening to hear that there is such a sanctuary for the birds. At least there is a safe haven for them to propagate. Cheers & Mabuhay to you & Johnny for sharing the good news.

Nice pics! I saw a video on youtube about this place. There was a wire fence around the property. I suppose people are not allowed inside? Lots of interesting details in your pics -- all those plumes!!
