An adult mallard duck swims in a shallow, murky body of water near a concrete embankment

An adult mallard duck swims in a shallow, murky body of water near a concrete embankment. The duck, facing left, has a brown and white mottled plumage. The water is disturbed, showing ripples and reflections of the embankment. The embankment itself appears to be made of rough concrete with some patches of soil and sparse vegetation. The lighting suggests it is daytime. This scene is consistent with a canal or drainage ditch within the urban environment of Tashkent, Uzbekistan, likely in a less developed or industrial area.
