Sometimes, I eat small birds
But mostly I eat insects, fish and frogs
But a dead deer? That would be quite absurd!
I was shocked when I saw this until David pointed out that no, the Cattle Egrets had not gone into beast mode, they were actually eating the bugs that were accumulating on the dead deer!
