eles-eyes: Comb-crested Jacana (Irediparra gallinacea), Australia

Yesterday morning Pip and dad and I took a boat tour on the Mary River. I’ve never seen a jacana up so close before - look at his ridiculous feet! They trail out behind him when he flies. He needs them for walking across lotus leaves and lily pads without sinking, hence his nickname: the Jesus bird.
