Words and photo by Charl Stols Photography
"With the floods arriving on the Chobe River fields of waterlilies and other water plants are forming, the nesting grounds for the African Jacana. Some of the males are still incubating the eggs while others have their hands or feathers full with looking after the chicks. In this image a male is carrying all four chicks under his wings just leaving their long legs and toes exposed."

Omg!! Oh I haven’t seen a picture of one of them since I was in primary school...... ready for it? My primary school was called Jacana primary school! We had a pic of the bird on our uniforms and anything else with the school logo.
