More from yesterday at Tygum Park

The Jacanas are usually quite shy but I noticed a couple quite close to the path, ignoring people passing by. There are metre high bushes beside the path and these don't allow a good angle on birds on the surface. I managed to find a clear spot and lay prone on the bank to get these shots.

Great series Alan. Those jacs are very colourful. I think the birds just get used to humans floating about and simply adjust to sharing the zone with other animals too.

Thanks Isac. The Jacanas are mostly still shy. I think these were young ones hatched here.

It won't be long before they come up to you wanting treats

The swans, ducks and moorhens do, but I can't see the Jacanas doing so.
