The African jacana is a wader, and the trademark of the Jacana is its nice big legs and identifiable by long toes that enable them to walk on floating vegetation in shallow lakes, their preferred habitat.

The Chobe is home to an incredibly dense population of African Fish Eagles. Most breeding Fish Eagle pairs will have two chicks at a time and with the large amount of Barbel (catfish) in the river fishing takes up less of the day. Thus both chicks tend to survive and the population grows exponentially.
All our game activities - on the Chobe River and on land within The Chobe National Park are hosted by the Pangolin Photo Hosts who feature in these films.
Whether you are a seasoned professional or an absolute beginner, everyone is welcome at Pangolin Photo Safaris.

Thanks, Guts. I always enjoy your, and your colleagues', video tutorials. Would you please explain the reason for your choice of focus selection. I see you chose a wide area option rather than single point or single point + surrounding friends. Many thanks for your reply.

[@tinachambers997]

I have SOOOOO many blurred jacana toes 😂😂😂

[@michaeldande]

@ Minute 1:13 you say you will double the focal length of that lens to 1200 Its a Tamron on A canon Body How Did u achieve that

[@PangolinWildlife]

Guts was referring to the minimum shutter speed needs to be double the focal length. at 600mm it needs to be 1/1200 min
