The black line that extends from the bill, underneath and behind the eye is the feature that easily identifies this bird from the smaller Yellow-Billed Egret.It has a slow flight, with its neck retracted. This is characteristic of herons and bitterns, and distinguishes them from storks, cranes, ibises and spoonbills, which extend their necks in flight.
