Coastal and sea birds form an integral part of the
marine ecosystem. Though occurrence of different
avian fauna has been reported sporadically, detailed
information on their interactions with the ecosystem
is not extensively studied. Bubul cusibis, known as
the cattle egret is commonly seen in paddy fields
and wetlands in association with grazing cattle to
catch the insects from the grassland being disturbed
by the moving cattle. In a recent survey in central
Kerala, these egrets were seen in flock on the
beaches.
