Has long filamentous plumes on back, and two or three long feathers pendent from crown. Length 20 inches.
218. Ardea bubulcus, Audouin. Buff-backed or Cattle-Heron.
Moorish. Tair el bukkar (the Cow-bird). Spanish. Garrapatosa, Purgabueyes.
"This is the most common of the Herons around Tangier, and keeps in small flocks, always following herds of cattle, often sitting on their backs, and chiefly feeding on insects. A small proportion remain- during the breeding-season ; but the majority pass nor...thwards in February, March, and April, returning late in the year, " Favier.
The Buff-backed Heron is very common in low-lying districts in Andalucia, and some are resident, breeding in the marisma ; but they are very irregular in their movements, and chiefly' noticed, while passing, during March and April, as they always attend cattle when in wet marshy ground. The Spanish herds- men naturally object to have them molested, especially as there was at Casas Viejas a legend of a sporting Briton from Gibraltar having shot one as it sat on a cow's back a story which unhappily was founded on fact, and only shows what the Englishman is capable of.
