In addition, numerous pelican, egret, and blue heron sightings occur during the summer months.
Birds are very numerous; they include various eagles, several kinds of heron, the egret, the marabout, the crane and the pelican; turacos or plantain-eaters, are common, as are other brilliantly plumaged birds.
The Little Egret foraged in the shallow pools between the mussel beds with a solitary Redshank.
Among these are the large white crane and small crane, the blue heron, the snowy-white egret, the roseate spoonbill (Platalea ajaja), stork, bittern and many species of ducks.
There were also many Yellow Wagtails feeding around the grazing cattle, plus one Little Egret.
