Our African Jacana is a giant compared The Comb-crested Jacana (Irediparra gallinacea), also known as the lotusbird or lilytrotter, is the only species of jacana in the genus Irediparra. They are resident in eastern Australia and I found this guy at a wonderful suburban dam/lake in Maudsland, QLD.
Wiki states : The male is slightly smaller than the female and measures 20–22 cm (7.9–8.7 in) in length and weighs 68–84 g (2.4–3.0 oz). The female measures 24–27 cm (9.4–10.6 in) in length and weighs 120–150 g (4.2–5.3 oz . One of my wishlist birds from Oz that actually happened!
