CHARADRIIFORMES: Jacanidae
Irediparra gallinacea
I was busy watching an adult Comb-crested Jacana when suddenly a juvenile came into view right in front of the bird hide.
This was my first view of a juvenile Comb-crested Jacana and I could see red feathers on the top and back of the head where the adult has black.
The comb is very small and not yet bright red.
