This is probably the male, today seeming to avoid going near the new-laid eggs, yet never quitting the pool. Not sure if he's accepted responsibility for sitting, and the rearing. Presumed female egg layer, seen briefly, lacked colour: may be young, and unwise in egg plonking. Time may tell.
Meantime, here's another Jacana, showing off those toes!!!

That last photo showing the 'toes' is really great!
Strange she has laid eggs, and no sitting, Maybe clutch not yet complete.
Loved those fine tippy-toes.

Thanks Mick.
Not too strange, Denis. She lays, he sits - or not!
