What a fantastic species - the curiously quirky Comb-crested Jacana! These birds spend their life living on bodies of water that contain waterlilies or similar aquatic vegetation. Their extra long legs & toes enable the Jacana to spread their weight evenly across waterlilies which gives them the appearance of walking on water. On our trip up North last year, I was particular keen to produce an image that show these wonderful feet!
