The only Jacana or Lillytrotter in the Australasian region. This attractive species occurs from the Philippines south through Wallacea to north and east Australia.
Al I wanted was one comb but these combs came in a package
I had to buy them. for some colorful inspiration :-)
El Peine del Viento, San Sebastián, Guipúzcoa, España.
El Peine del Viento XV (comúnmente conocido como Peine del Viento o El Peine del Viento) es un conjunto de esculturas de Eduardo Chillida sobre una obra arquitectónica del arquitecto vasco Luis Peña Ganchegui.
Se encuentra situado en un extremo de la bahía de La Concha, al final de la playa de Ondarreta, en el municipio de San Sebastián, en la provincia de Guipúzcoa, en el País Vasco. Está compuesto por tres esculturas de acero, de 10 toneladas de peso cada una, incrustadas en unas rocas que dan al mar Cantábrico, cuyas olas las azotan.
La obra fue finalizada en 1976. Además de las esculturas, se acondicionó una zona en los alrededores de las mismas con unas salidas de aire y agua que se abastecen de las olas que rompen contra las rocas y las esculturas.
The XV Wind Comb (commonly known as Peine del Viento or El Peine del Viento) is a set of sculptures by Eduardo Chillida on an architectural work by the Basque architect Luis Peña Ganchegui.
It is located at the end of the La Concha bay, at the end of the Ondarreta beach, in the municipality of San Sebastián, in the province of Guipúzcoa, in the Basque Country. It is composed of three steel sculptures, weighing 10 tons each, embedded in rocks that face the Cantabrian Sea, whose waves lash them.
The work was completed in 1976. In addition to the sculptures, an area was prepared around them with air and water outlets that are supplied by the waves that break against rocks and sculptures.
I just loved finding these lovely birds again at the same reserve I saw them 13 years ago on our last Australia trip.

Aka Lotusbird.
With its long legs and oversized feet, at first glance the Comb-crested Jacana appears particularly ungainly. However, anyone who has watched one nimbly picking its way across precarious platforms of floating aquatic vegetation would disagree. Similarly, those strangely elongated appendages would seem to render any attempts at long-distance movements problematical. Again, this is incorrect. They have been occasionally recorded as making very long distance journeys.

This is from my archives, it was a dull day.
So i decided to experiment & add some frost to it ,

The view towards Combs Moss from the path between South Head and Brown Knoll with Chapel-en-le-Frith in the valley below.
A small abandoned cabin in the valley below Comb Ridge was surrounded by a fence. Today, the fence acts as a tumbleweed catcher. Wilbur is almost hidden by the pile on the right side of the image.
Happy Fence Friday.
Barely 5 3/4" tall... this demure little S. Smith wooden repro of an early 1800's
German "Tuck Comb" doll is a little work of art, to me. I always thought her
joint-work was too pretty to cover with clothes.
Today Vaska was complacent and allowed to comb his lion's mane.
Thant you very much for visits, faves and comments!
Plastic comb-shaped anti-bird device placed on a height restriction bar to an underground carpark. These soft plastic comb-like spikes are much friendlier than the usual more lethal-looking metal ones that are angled in 2 directions in a V arrangement.
Ever since I was small I loved feeling
somebody comb my hair. It made me
go all sleepy and peaceful.

Thanks for views, faves and comments!
This was one of my target species for eastern Australia. A delightful little wader with enormous long toes and feet to enable it to stand on floating vegetation, hence their nickname, Lily-trotter. Females are the dominant sex in this family and are much larger than the males. The females maintain a territory with 3-4 males and they lay eggs in each male territory for them to bring up. Judging by the size of this bird, it is a male.
