Hello, I am back after my long disappearance from my blog with a cover from Spain with a stamp issued in 2009. Little Egret (Egretta garzetta) is a white heron of small size. It has two subspecies. It can be found in temperate parts of Asia, Europe, Africa and Australia near wetlands. I t is also introduced in America. In warmer areas is a resident bird but northern populations migrate to Africa and southern Asia. It feeds on fish, amphibians, insects, reptiles and crustaceans. It is an endangered species.
