ABR description
The following is extracted from the Annual Bird Report for the twelve months to June 2017.
Uncommon, non-breeding visitor
Occasionally seen in grassy surrounds of bodies of water, sometimes in flocks of up to 30.
General: Both the abundance and reporting rates for this species have declined slightly over the past 3 years, with the reporting rate (0.8%) being slightly below last year and the 10 & 30YA (1.1%). Most records were from JWNR/FSP (70) with a few from other Canberra wetlands and sites in NSW. Max 83/29 Oct JWNR (W S1), mean 7.1 and median 3. Most records in spring (46%) and autumn (37%) with the lowest in winter (6%). Like last year there were probably 2 large flocks reported at JWNR in Oct/Nov and again in late Mar/Apr.
GBS: 1 record only from Curtin 2wk Apr (AjR1).

Distribution map
Distribution - 2017
This map shows the observed distribution of the Cattle Egret for 2017.
The red circles are the grid cells where Cattle Egret have been reported.
The transparency of the red circles indicate how many surveys sheets were submitted for that grid cell; the darker the red the more reliable the data. Of the 315 grid cells with reports, 83 had only one sheet; an example is grid number A11.
The size of the circle represents the reporting rate. The maximum reporting rate for Cattle Egret was 50.0% (eg grid number E10) and the minimum was 0.2% (eg grid number K16). 
Distribution - all years
This map shows the observed distribution of the Cattle Egret for all years.
The red circles are the grid cells where Cattle Egret have been reported.
The transparency of the red circles indicate how many surveys sheets were submitted for that grid cell; the darker the red the more reliable the data. Of the 703 grid cells with reports, 55 had only one sheet; an example is grid number A12.
The size of the circle represents the reporting rate. The maximum reporting rate for Cattle Egret was 50.0% (eg grid number S9) and the minimum was 0.0% (eg grid number K13).
