Here Are 31 Finalists Of This Year’s Bird Photographer Of The Year Contest

#30 Bar-Tailed Godwit, By Mario Suarez Porras
This image shows a bar-tailed godwit, photographed in the late evening on my local beach at Gijón in northern Spain. Because it was really dark, I was able to crawl towards the godwit without causing any disturbance. This beach is a good place for migrant shorebirds, particularly in autumn, and they always provide excellent photographic opportunities. The wet sand framing the godwit looks like it is on fire.
