The Great Egret is a wading bird living near freshwater. It is the largest of the herons and egrets present in Europe. This one almost disappeared, decimated by hunters who sold the long bridal feathers to decorate ladies' hats from the end of the 19th century to the beginning of the 20th century. It was then the destruction of wetlands and pesticides that made its survival difficult.
