Ever since I was small I loved feeling

somebody comb my hair. It made me

go all sleepy and peaceful.

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.

Hi, my name is Travis and I take pictures of great blue herons.

I made it almost 11 days without posting a heron photo.

Snow on combs Lane...

Taken at Sandy Camp Rd Wetlands Reserve.

Also known as the lotusbird or lilytrotter. Like other jacana species, its enormous feet are adapted to the floating vegetation of tropical freshwater wetlands.

Hen Comb is a fell in the west of the English Lake District. One of the Loweswater Fells it lies to the south of Loweswater lake and Loweswater village. Although of only moderate height, its ascent can be difficult as it is largely surrounded by bogs.

Giant boulders have settled at the base of Comb Ridge, Utah.
