Comb-crested Jacana

At Yorkey's Knob, just north of Cairns, there is a very popular golf course, with a small duckweed covered pond/lagoon type thing next to the entrance - I assume it's used for watering the greens in the dry season?

 

This lagoon is occasionally a stake out spot for Little Kingfisher - although not while I was there staking things out.

 

What I did spy inbetween the trees though was this lovely Comb-crested Jacana walking along some PVC piping.
