Suppose you are driving your car on a random spring day on the A27 near, say, Baarn to Eemnes. There is a good chance that you will see a striking number of great egrets. The great egret is also easily recognizable for non-bird watchers: Great white heron, which can cause little mistake. Long yellow beak and usually black legs. During the breeding season, the legs on the top turn red and the beak black for a short period of time. For anyone over the age of forty, seeing an egret so often is actually quite special. All those over-40s grew up without egrets.
