Small bird, HUGE feet.

A sub-adult Comb-crested Jacana I spotted this morning at work. Its comb is now almost fully formed so it's pretty close to adulthood.

#bird #AustralianWildlife#WildOz#CombCrestedJacana

A Comb-crested Jacana standing on a different rock in a lake. bent forward towards the water. Its broken reflection can be seen below.
It has a white body with brown wings, black shoulder stripe, a little buff on the sides of the neck, dark brown cap, but a red comb and shield on its face. The legs are pale yellow and the feet are about as wide as the body is long.

Went for a lunchtime walk, found the ducklings again. Still seven, which is nice. Very attentive parents.

I did need to encourage them to get off the road at one point though, since students & tradies aren't very attentive when driving.

Two small wood duck ducklings. They're mostly shades of brown, and very fluffy. The right hand one is standing upright and alert (it head a lapwing call), while the other contemplates its next snack.

Sleepy ducks this morning. All the ducklings are tucked up under Mother Duck.

#AustralianWildlife#WildOz#Bird#AustralianWoodDuck

Two adult wood ducks snoozing. THe male (on the left) is standing on one leg, with its head turned around, bill nestled on its back. 
The female (on the right) is similarly posed but has her wings extended to the ground, and underneath you can just see the tiny ducklings nestled under there. 
Both birds are brown and grey, with speckled chests and darker heads, although the males is darker than the females.
