Using its massive feet to jump from lily pad to lily pad, this Jacana fails to disappear into the background when catching its food. These funny photographs were taken by amateur photographer Ian Gordon Brown, 53, after he spotted the African Jacana at the Chobe nature reserve, Botswana. 'What is absolutely amazing is from birth, the chicks feed themselves - the parents don't feed them at all,'said Ian
