A group of approximately fifteen mallard ducks are positioned on a snow-covered surface in Novoe Devyatkino, Russia. The environment is outdoors, under clear sunlight, indicated by distinct shadows cast on the snow and bright highlights on the ducks' plumage and the snow itself. In the foreground, two male mallard ducks are prominent. The duck on the left faces slightly right, displaying its iridescent green head, bright yellow bill, dark chest, gray body, and visible orange webbed feet standing on the snow. The duck on the right is partially visible, facing left, exhibiting a similar green head, yellow bill, and orange webbed feet. Behind these two, additional mallard ducks are dispersed across the snow. These include both male ducks with their characteristic green heads and female ducks with mottled brown plumage. Some ducks are standing, while others are resting on their bodies directly on the snow. The snow itself is granular and white, with areas of light and shadow. No other objects or human presence are visible in the frame.
