Australia: Kakadu NP – Jacana aka Jesus Bird

These are jacanas aka Jesus birds or Lilly trotters. They are unique tropic birds with massive feet (highest feet to body ratio in the world) allowing them to walk in lily and lotus pads and borderline walking in water (hence the Jesus name). We came across 1-2 week old chicks and their father (with jacanas it’s the dad who cares for the young and not the mother). I got some awesome shots (and there was TV crew filming this so I figured I will front run them)
