A close up, horizontal photo of an Australian Wood Duck foraging on bright green, short-cut grass. The bird has a solid brown head and neck, and its body feathers are a mix of light brown, grey, and white speckles. It is bent over, with its beak touching the grass as it feeds. The background is slightly blurred and consists of grass and dried brown leaves.

A tall, dead, gnarled tree trunk with bare, skeletal branches stands alone in a flat, grassy paddock. In the background is a dense line of dark toned, healthy trees (possibly gum trees). The sky is overcast and moody. A small part of a cow's head is visible in the bottom left corner, and a fallen log is near the base of the main tree.
