I took contact with Wikipedia in January of 2007. The idea of a free encyclopedia with the aim of having an important part of the common knowledge of humanity felt irresistible so since then I try to help improving this huge work.

The bronze-winged jacana (Metopidius indicus) is a wader in the family Jacanidae. It is found across South and Southeast Asia. Like other jacanas, it forages on lilies and other floating aquatic vegetation, using its long feet and legs for balance. The sexes are alike but females are slightly larger and are polyandrous, maintaining a harem of males during the breeding season in the monsoon rains. Males maintain territories, with one male in the harem chosen to incubate the eggs and take care of the young. When threatened, young chicks may be carried to safety by the male under his wings. This bronze-winged jacana was photographed in Kumarakom on the shore of Vembanad, the largest lake in the Indian state of Kerala.
View of the Geiranger Church, the surrounding cemetery and the famous Geirangerfjord in the back. The parish church belongs to the Church of Norway and is located in the village of Geiranger, Stranda Municipality, Møre og Romsdal county, Norway. The wooden church was built in a octagonal style in 1842 by architect Hans Klipe but on the same spot there had been previously a stave church, which was torn down in 1742 and a second one that was burned in 1841. |
