Larry's Gallery:   Comb-crested Jacana (2/3)

CHARADRIIFORMES: Jacanidae

Irediparra gallinacea  

This appeared to be a territorial dispute or similar. One Jacana wandered too close to a couple and was promptly and energetically chased away by both of the other birds.

I think I heard one call out "Jacana come near us". I know, peculiar eh? Where did a tropical bird get a Scottish accent?
