I obviously had the "zone focus" on my Olympus Trip 35 set to the wrong zone, but I love the out of focus look.

Jacana! The Jesus-bird!

 

Although locally common up North, I get a little bit excited every time I see one of these beauties as we don't see them in my home state.

 

Their ridiculously long legs & toes, perfectly adapted to enable them to traverse the floating vegetation of the freshwater wetlands, swamps & lakes in which they live, make for really interesting photographic subjects. It's also why they go by the name Jesus-bird, for their ability to seemingly walk on water!

 

During our Darwin trip, we visited the world-renowned Fogg Dam Conservation Reserve, about one hour East of Darwin in the Northern Territory. Situated within the Adelaide & Mary River Floodplains, during the wet season this reserve is home to hundreds of thousands of birds of numerous species. Unfortunately it was a little late in the dry season when we visited & much of the accessible water had receded, however the dam itself was still plentiful.

 

There were several Jacana dashing about the lily pads, busily hunting prey amongst & underneath the vegetation. I'll always stop & spend some time trying to photograph this species, so I was pleased when I caught this active bird as it landed on a lily pad having flown in from a nearby pad.

 

See if you can spoot the bonus Dragonfly!

Comb Duck (aka Knob-billed Duck) at Martin Mere WWT. A rather strange looking duck but with gorgeous iridescent feathers on it's back. Not sure if this one was having a good wash, or trying to drench me and Maggie!

On this young Jacana, you can see how translucent the comb is in the late afternoon sun.
