In the stillness of a wetland morning, a black-headed IBIS stands motionless with caution as its curved bill grips a slender water snake. The reptile’s final coils form a graceful loop — a fleeting sculpture of instinct and survival. I had been observing the IBIS for long, waiting quietly at eye level among the reeds. Finally, this timeless moment unfolded — a quiet duel between predator and prey. The photograph clicked at Manglajodi wetlands in Orissa India, in January 2025, captures its balance — an unspoken rhythm of life where each gesture has purpose, and every silence has meaning. Mangalajodi at present is one among the most notable wildlife conservation venture in India for birds of varied species.
