African Jacana (Actophilornis africanus)

Today, I have captured this 'African Jacana' at Marieval Bird Sanctuary. It was a cloudy day with bit windy. I was lucky to find this bird on lush green carpet of water surface. I wasn't lucky to get perfect light from its in front, but light coming from back through cloud, helped me to make a nice composition with light and shade.
African Jacana is a wader with long toes and claws that help them to walk on vegetation on the water surface. They have chestnut upper part. Blue bill extends up as a Coot-like head shield.

beautiful..

Very nice Jacana. Cheers

Hi Sri,
Those few lightrays helped you making the photo fabulous - exceptional use of lights and shadows. The bird's pose is very spectacular, or I'd use the word funny as they tried to find the balance. Lovely composition and crop as well, nice image overall. Congratulations!
Kind regards from Ireland, László
