Sažetak
On 19th September 2018 a flock of 28 Cattle Egrets Bubulcus ibis was observed in the Vransko Lake Ornithological Reserve. Birds have gathered to the communal roost with Pygmy Cormorants Microcarbo pygmeus and Little Egrets Egretta garzetta. However, at 18.53 hours, 25 individuals of Cattle Egrets, triggered by passing flocks of Grey Herons Ardea cinerea and Little Egrets, started with migration and flew southeastwards. So far, this has been the largest flock of this species observed in Croatia. It is assumed that such observations might become more regular with the recent increase of breeding population in Pannonian plain.
