The Comb-crested Jacana (Irediparra gallinacea), also known as the Lotusbird or Lily Trotter, is found in the wetlands of northern Australia where it nimbly picks its way across platforms of floating aquatic vegetation. Female Jacanas may mate with several males, leaving them to build the floating nest, incubate the eggs and rear the chicks. Jacanas feed mainly on aquatic insects picked from the water surface or from floating vegetation, and they also take seeds and aquatic vegetation. This male Comb-crested Jacana was escorting his three large chicks with their impossibly long toes as they fed amongst Fringed Waterlilies (Nymphoides indica) and flooded grasses in the Mamukala wetland in Kakadu National Park.
