I am unsure whether this is the same bird as that found in Africa, but it looks similar.

The bird pops beautifully from the muddy bank in the larger image, Ken. I really like the pose with the raised leg showing off the enormous foot.

Nice light, exposure, and a cool mid-stride action pose. Well done.

What a beautiful bird, Ken. Such a great image of him. Great detail in those feathers, and the colors are awesome. Love those feet!!! The reflections in the water are a nice addition too.

Oh my goodness! What rich colours, Ken, and how marvellously you have captured this! And, this is not the African jacana; it's totally different.

Having done a little more research I think I have discovered the correct species?
