Cattle egret - Bubulcus ibis - They are almost exclusively urban birds in Libya.

 

The biggest cattle egret colony in Libya is at the old Tobacco factory in Tripoli which is closed down and secluded with thousands of birds roosting in the eucalpytus trees every night.

 

In Benghazi, the biggest colony is at Buduzeera lake. They breed in their hundreds in the reeds.
