'''Egret''' (bok) name applied to several species of herons of the family Ardeidae, with white plumage, long slender head and neck, and pointed bill.<br />
<br />
Long, delicate, and ornamental nuptial plumes, called aigrettes (the term egret has been originated from this word) appear on the back of these [[Bird|bird]]s during the breeding season. These aigrettes are used as ornaments in oriental ceremonial dress and were formerly used in women’s hat. There are eight species of egrets worldwide; Bangladesh has five (table).<br />
