illustrative tail feathers

A semi-profile shot of this pheasant-tailed jacana (hydrophasianus chirurgus) provides a decent view of the bird's extended tail feathers from which it gets the first part of its name. Photographed in the margins of Parakrama Samudra Reservoir, in Polonnaruwa, Sri Lanka. More at "Colin Pacitti Wildlife Photography & Fishing Travels" - www.colin-pacitti.com.
