Ruddy shelduck in the middle of a small pond in the monastery courtyard

Ruddy shelduck (*Tadorna ferruginea*) glides through a green pond. The bird's distinct orange-brown plumage contrasts with its creamy white head and black bill, creating a striking appearance. Its black tail feathers and wingtips are visible as it swims. Ripples formed by its movement gently spread across the water's surface, adding texture to the scene. The setting appears tranquil, highlighting the natural elegance of the shelduck in its watery surroundings.
