black and yellow bird above plant field

I snapped this jacana coming in to land at the Mareeba wetlands in Australia. These birds walk on waterlily pads, catching insects, so that they appear to walk on water, hence another name for them is Jesus bird. The extra long toes can be seen which help to spread out their weight when they walk on floating leaves.
