White long-legged birds (6)

I believe the answer is:

egrets

(Other definitions for egrets that I've seen before include "Kind of herons with long white feathers" , "Greets like certain herons" , "Greets like fishing eagles" , "Greets in way of certain herons (" , "waders" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
