Observation details

We were walking on the edge of the lagoon at country park when noticed a very agitated adult Northern Jacana. We continued our walk and we approached closer the adult bird was flapping its wings and vocalizing incessant. We stopped and the bird kept flapping and flew off not far and in some instances limped .We all started to scan with binoculars and noticed in the water in the one baby sunken in the water behind some leaves. The head sticking out and frozen there.As we approached closer the adult bird flew off we took pictures and walked away fast we didn't want to disturb the recently fledged young..probably the youngest Northern Jacanas I have ever seen.Will attach pictures ,we were very conscious of the fact that all this birds are recently fledged young and we kept our distance.
