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

Ruddy shelduck (Tadorna ferruginea) gliding on a pond's surface. It features a striking orange-brown body, contrasting against the dark water. Its head is pale, with a distinct black beak and eyes. The bird's wings and tail show darker feathers, creating a vivid contrast. Ripples in the water highlight its movement, while reflections subtly mirror its shape. The serene setting emphasizes the bird's graceful presence.
