Butterflies 1

The pretty yellow and pastel green ones the common emigrant and mottled emigrant  find themselves comfortable in a mount of sambar deer dung, the common crow the brown plain looking fellow prefers foliage.

Cattle Egret

The cattle egret gets the name from the genus name in Latin which means herdsman, no other relation to cattle.
