Pheasant-tailed Jacana - Hydrophasianus chirurgus, Nallur, Jaffna, Sri Lanka.

Next to the Rio Ice-cream parlor at Nallur, there is a small weed-covered lake. I have seen this bird regularly over the last four years. An Australian Doctor said that this bird is also called the 'Jesus Bird'. It walks on the large spreading lotus leaves and appears to 'walk on water' as Jesus did.
