A light brown and white Muscovy duck (Cairina moschata) with prominent red caruncles around its eyes and beak is observed inside a wire mesh enclosure under direct sunlight in Šķēde, Latvia. The duck stands facing right, with its head slightly turned and its beak partially open, revealing a pinkish tongue. Its plumage displays a mottled pattern of brown, tan, and white, with distinct white feathers visible on its lower body and wing. The enclosure is constructed from a green metal frame and rusted wire mesh. Several sections of the mesh are secured with additional thin, light-colored wire. The ground inside the enclosure consists of dry soil mixed with gravel and small pebbles. In the background, a wooden plank or board is visible, on which fragmented letters, including "ANEL," can be discerned. Shadows are cast across the ground and the wooden structure, indicating bright solar illumination. In the foreground, outside the enclosure, vibrant green leafy vegetation is present in the lower left and right portions of the frame. No human subjects are visible, and no direct interactions are depicted.
