Abstract
⺠In Algeria, the Cattle Egret expanded its range 560 km to the south in 40 years. ⺠Few hundred pairs were observed in the 70s; 87 colonies hosted 30 000 pairs in 2007. ⺠Agriculture fostered this expansion and the numerical increase in breeding numbers. ⺠The clutch size and realization of two broods per year also played a role.
