The right upper photo of a lesser jacana was taken on the Okavango River, Namibia (11-10); the middle, in Panda, Mozambique (3-11), both courtesy of Per Holmen; the left upper, at Lake Tlawi (6-06); and the lower, at Kerege (1-17), courtesy of Riaan Marais. The long-toed bird forages on vegetation, grass and floating leaves, mainly for small insects. |
