A Comb-crested Jacana walking across lily-pad leaves looking for food at Buckleys Waterhole, Bribie Island.

Look at those feet! If you had feet that size, you could scratch your bottom and your head at the same time.

Wait! I can scratch my bottom and my head at the same time.

I don't need feet that size. Just a louse comb and de-worming.

Did you just scratch your head?
