Observation details
Courtship behaviour observed. Female initiated by pecking at some strands of vegetation in the mud, then opening wings and calling. Then she adopted a stiff head down, tail up position. The male attempted mating, but did not appear to make successful cloacal contact. Separately, there was a gathering of 12 jacanas, 2 moorhens and a Southern Lapwing in short grass - perhaps taking advantage of a concentration of food?
