EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print captures the incredible journey of the Bar-tailed Godwit, a true globetrotter of the avian world. With its non-breeding plumage on full display, this particular subspecies baueri takes flight from the Arctic tundra to embark on an epic adventure. From Scandinavia to Siberia and Alaska, these daring birds breed in some of Earth's most remote regions. But when winter arrives, they bid farewell to their icy homes and head southward towards warmer shores. Surprisingly, North and South America are not part of their vacation itinerary! Instead, our feathered friends choose countless southern coastlines as their winter retreats. However, it is this very subspecies that prefers Australia and New Zealand for its well-deserved break from the cold. Roebuck Bay near Broome in Western Australia becomes a temporary paradise for these bar-tailed beauties. Don Hadden skillfully captured this solitary traveler mid-flight against a stunning backdrop - showcasing both grace and resilience in one frame. This print serves as a reminder that nature's wonders know no boundaries or borders. So let us celebrate the adventurous spirit of this remarkable bird! From arctic breeding grounds to sun-soaked southern beaches, it seems there is no destination too far or exotic for our globe-trotting godwits!
