Hi All
 
I have never used Flickr before, but hopefully at:
is a photo of either one or two egrets.
 
The photos were taken at Yerrabi pond a fortnight apart.
I thought they were all of the one bird,
                                and based on the black legs, a Cattle Egret;
but following conversations with others, I begin to wonder.
 
Could someone who is confident in their egret classifying abilities
tell me if they are both Cattle Egrets, both Intermediate Egrets or one of each.
 
If there is a simple rule available could I know that..
