I spent some time in Arnhem Land in the north of Australia earlier this year and enjoyed the Jacanas with their young chicks

Really nice images. Well done. I get the idea that Jacanas are only found in Africa and Australia? Some in Africa also call them the Jesus-bird for its seeming ability to walk on water with those long toes.

Thanks Rassie - these are Comb-crested Jacana and range through SE Asia and NE Australia. They were a first for me. My understanding is that there are other species ranging through tropical regions of the globe. I have also heard them referred to as the Jesus-bird here.
