[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
L'aigrette garzette est la plus répandue des aigrettes. Corps élancé et élégant au plumage blanc. Long cou et bec noir très allongé. Longues pattes noires aux doigts jaunes. Lors de la reproduction, 2 ou 3 plumes ornent sa nuque et de fines plumes d'environ 20 cm naissent sur ses épaules, s'étendent sur le dos et retombent de chaque côté de la queue en panaches élégants.Ce sont ces plumes, appelées crosses, autrefois très convoitées par les femmes pour leur valeur ornementale, qui ont valu à ces oiseaux le nom d'aigrettes.


The brush garzette is most widespread of the brushes. Slim and elegant body with the white plumage. Long neck and very lengthened black nozzle. Long black legs with the yellow fingers. At the time of the reproduction, 2 or 3 feathers decorate its nape of the neck and of fine feathers d' approximately 20 cm are born on its shoulders, s' extend on the back and fall down on each side of the tail in elegant plumes.
They are these feathers, called sticks, formerly very coveted by the women for their decorative value, who were worth with these birds the name of brushes.
