108. Little Egret
In contrast with the Western Cattle Egret, the Little Egret lacks yellow lores (it has darker lores that extend to the bill), has a black bill and black legs. Also, although it is little as well, it is larger than the Western Cattle and has a longer bill.
Monotypic family of birds that are related to pelicans and can be found only in Africa and Madagascar. It has a characteristic hammer-shaped head, that sometimes is not easily distinguished, when the head is retracted.
