Mamukala bird hide....a view from Hugh

Mamukala is a floodplain in the centre of kakadu with a bird hide. I went there twice over the four day period I was in kakadu. Both times I had a great experience getting good photos and seeing new birds. Some of these birds include sacred kingfisher, forest kingfisher and comb crested jacana. The thing that made the trip I did this morning so special is I saw a comb crested jacana nurturing it's chick by holding it with both it's wings as it walks a cross the Lilly pads. Talk about good parenting!
