This is an African jacana. This species is found in wetlands in sub-Saharan Africa. Its typical appearance, with long legs, big feet, and long toes makes it difficult to confuse with other species. The light blue forehead shield is also very typical. With my experience of American jacanas I wanted to have a photo of this relative as well, but I did not come close enough. (You could never leave the jeep). But finally, in Lake Manyara NP, a jacana basically came up to the car, so close that I could hardly frame the bird in the viewfinder... A notable fact is that the African jacana is polyandrous, meaning that females indeed lay the eggs, but then leave them to be brooded by the male while she acquires a new male. The male then has the ability, if necessary, to move the chicks by picking them up and carry them under its wings.
