Bar-tailed Godwit Flying Over Delhi Mudflats

by Julie Wallace

Dappled sunlight falls through autumn leaves, painting shifting patches of gold and shadow across the wet, grey mudflats. A bar-tailed godwit cuts through the air, its wings blurred in motion against a backdrop of soft focus greenery. The bird's mottled brown plumage blends with the late autumn earth below, while its long, slightly upturned bill points forward with precision. The mud surface glistens with recent rain, reflecting the bright midmorning sky. Ripples in the water suggest the storm has just passed, leaving the air still and heavy. The bird's legs trail behind, streamlined for flight, as it hovers low over the saturated ground. One feather edge catches the light, sharp against the soft blur of the distant reeds.
