In this print captured by BAZUKI MUHAMMAD, migratory birds gracefully soar through the skies near the Malaysian town of Kapar. The image showcases a mesmerizing spectacle as millions of these magnificent creatures embark on their annual journey from various regions such as Russia, Alaska, eastern China, Japan, and Siberia. As they traverse East and South East Asia en route to Australia and New Zealand, covering an astonishing distance of approximately 25,000 km (15,500 miles), these resilient birds seek refuge from the harsh winter weather in the northern hemisphere.

Against a backdrop of clear blue skies and lush greenery below them, we witness their synchronized flight patterns that seem almost choreographed.
