A newbie for me

dashing around in the reeds at Intaka. I have never seen or heard of this bird before. Not the best of shots as it was far away and sunning around.

A black crake - never heard of it but well worth a photo!

We have a bird in the far north that walks on lily pads, colloquially called the Jesus bird. Looks rather different though.
