A duck is filmed from a high angle, standing on a wet concrete edge next to a body of water with ripples. The duck is a male mallard, identifiable by its iridescent green head, mottled brown back, and lighter greyish-white flanks. Its feet are orange-red. The duck is actively preening its feathers, moving its head under its wing and along its side. A small piece of light green debris, possibly a leaf or food, is visible on the concrete near its feet. The water's surface reflects the sky or surrounding environment. The scene takes place in daylight, likely in Basel, Switzerland, given the location context. No people or visible text are present.
