Silkeshäger - Egretta garzetta - Little Egret - Aigrette garzette

This bird is a bit confusing to me. Every Little Egrets I´ve seen before has yellow feet. And according to my book it should. But these are black or at least very dark. Those of you that are used to see this species what do you say?

This bird looks soo cool with those feet. I never stop wondering why they are so big and yellow.

Strange to see them in such a dry country. But they seem to thrive.
