The pheasant-tailed jacana breeds in India, southeast Asia, and Indonesia. It is sedentary in much of its range, but northern breeders from south China and the Himalayas migrate into peninsular India and southeast Asia. It is also resident in Taiwan, where it is considered endangered. It has been recorded as a vagrant in Australia.

This is only my third sighting of the bird, and the best shot yet. This is the only jacana to have a different breeding and non-breeding plumage. The breeding plumage is marked by the elongated central tail feathers that given the bird its name. The Pheasant-tailed Jacana is a resident breeder in tropical India, Southeast Asia, and Indonesia and it overlaps greatly with the range of the Bronze-winged Jacana.
This Wattled Jacana was hanging out in a small pond near the dining room of our lodge. I spent a little while watching as it poked around the vegetation for food as I waited for our group to finish enjoying their breakfast. The Pantanal seemed to have such an abundance of photography opportunities that I never had to look far to find something interesting to photograph.

Wikipedia: The pheasant-tailed jacana (Hydrophasianus chirurgus) is a jacana in the monotypic genus Hydrophasianus. Like all other jacanas, they have elongated toes and nails that enable them to walk on floating vegetation in shallow lakes, their preferred habitat. They may also swim or wade in water reaching their body while foraging mainly for invertebrate prey. They are found in tropical Asia from Yemen in the west to the Philippines in the east and move seasonally in parts of their range. They are the only jacanas that migrate long distances and have different non-breeding and breeding plumages. The pheasant-tailed jacana forages by swimming or by walking on aquatic vegetation. Females are larger than males and are polyandrous, laying several clutches that are raised by different males in their harem.

A photo taken 4 years ago and one of my favourites but it's always been a bit noisy with lots of grain. I recently took out a trial on Topaz De-Noise AI and the difference when applied to this image is quite astounding. It doesn't work with all images but I'm pleased with the result here.

Also known as the lotusbird or lilytrotter. Like other jacana species, its enormous feet are adapted to the floating vegetation of tropical freshwater wetlands.
The wattled jacana has a unique look and a feeding style. Using their long toes they can walk on floating vegetation to forage for insects, seeds, and small aquatic creatures.
That red thing on his face is called a wattle and it helps attract mates during breeding season. It can also signal dominance and help individuals recognize each other. Overall, it plays a key role in mating and social interactions.

This is the only jacana to have a different breeding plumage. The pheasant-tailed jacana is conspicuous and unmistakable. It is around 39–58 cm (15–23 in) in length, about 25 cm (9.8 in) of which is comprised by the pheasant-like tail.[2] Body mass is reportedly 113–135 g (4.0–4.8 oz) in males and 205–260 g (7.2–9.2 oz) the larger females. The outermost primaries have a spatulate extension of 2 cm and the seventh primary has a broad protrusion.
Breeding adults are mainly black other than white wings, head, and fore neck. The hind neck is golden. There is a striking white eyestripe. The legs and very long toes are grey. Non-breeding adults lack the long tail. The underparts are white except for a brown breast band and neck stripe. The side of the neck is golden. Young birds have brown upperparts. The underparts are white, with a weak brown breast band.

441) Pheasant Tailed Jacana
Pheasant-tailed Jacana, Hydrophasianus chirurgus, Burung Teratai Ekor Panjang
This are the only jacanas that migrate long distances and with different non-breeding and breeding plumages. The pheasant-tailed jacana forages by swimming or by walking on aquatic vegetation. The pheasant-tailed jacana is conspicuous and unmistakable, and lengthwise, the largest in the jacana family when the tail streamers are included. The main sources of food are insects, molluscs, and other invertebrates picked from the floating vegetation or the water's surface.
Until a few weeks ago I had never heard of these birds, now I love them. Their super long toes enables them to walk on the lily leaves, making it look as if they walk on water.

Taken at Sandy Camp Rd Wetlands, Lytton, Qld.
Aka Lilly Trotter or Lotusbird - the Jacana has adapted to walking on floating Lilly leaves by virtue of enormously elongated feet which spread the birds (albeit light) weight over a wide surface area. Found in tropical and subtropical freshwater wetlands, including lagoons, billabongs, swamps, lakes, rivers, sewage ponds and dams, providing there is adequate floating vegetation.
The biggest threat to survival occurs at the egg stage. The hatching rate is very low with many eggs being lost (mainly to predators). Breeding success is enhanced by the female laying several small eggs (rather than fewer, larger ones) and by females having several mates incubating clutches of their eggs. Females abandon their partner after laying eggs. The male will incubate the eggs and keep a watchful eye on the chicks. If dad senses a threat, he picks the chicks up under his specially adapted wings and carries them off to safety. So, unusually for a bird, it is the male alone that incubates the eggs although the female does help to defend the territory. Larger females produce somewhat larger eggs, improving success if the eggs survive predation.

A trip back to pre-covid times when travel to foreign climes was easier.
Taken at an isolated lodge on the Pacific side of Costa Rica. I spent a morning with these birds waiting until they came close enough to the only spot where I could get a low vantage point. Happy days!

A Wattled Jacana, keeping a lookout while its mate and young forage for bugs. Photographed in the Cauca River Canyon of Colombia.
Wikipedia: The bronze-winged jacana (Metopidius indicus) is a wader in the family Jacanidae. It is found across South and Southeast Asia and is the sole species in the genus Metopidius. Like other jacanas it forages on lilies and other floating aquatic vegetation, the long feet spreading out its weight and preventing sinking. The sexes are alike but females are slightly larger and are polyandrous, maintaining a harem of males during the breeding season in the monsoon rains. Males maintain territories, with one male in the harem chosen to incubate the eggs and take care of the young. When threatened, young chicks may be carried to safety by the male under his wings.
