With June and Winter just three weeks away
The white migratory cattle egrets have returned for their Winter stay
With the cattle herd they spend their every day
Eating ground insects, grass hoppers and frogs that to their taste buds taste sweet
That hop or crawl out of danger's way of big trampling feet
Only to end their lives in an egret's craw
To eat and be eaten is in Nature's law
When the cattle egrets arrive in the coastal Moyne Shire you know Winter is near
In the coolness of late Autumn weatherwise not an unpleasant time of year
They leave the coastal lands for to breed in the Spring
The workings of Nature is an amazing thing
The coastal lands looking green after the recent rain
And the cattle egrets are back in the Moyne Shire again.
