I have received a report from Greg Muir of a Cattle Egret on his
alpaca farm that has an anodised red metal band CRT (or possibly GRT)
03 (sideways) 26
He has photographs on his Flickr site. Greg's email is
He has contacted the ABBBS, but they say these bands haven't been
used since at least 1992, but it seems unlikely that this bird was
banded then, as the band appears to be in quite good condition. They
suggested that the bird could possibly have been in care, and
released with a band.
I am unaware of any banding studies on Cattle Egrets in the SW of
WA. Can anyone involved with this please contact Greg directly.
If you can think of anyone else who may be involved or who I could
contact, then contact me and I will follow it up, and I will ask them
to contact Greg.
