A mother duck and her approximately eight ducklings are on a rocky shore next to a body of water in Krasnoyarsk, Russia. The water has gentle waves, reflecting the soft light of what appears to be either early morning or late afternoon. The ducklings are huddled together at the water's edge. The mother duck walks towards them, quacks once, then turns and walks back a short distance before looking towards the ducklings again, seemingly keeping watch over her brood. The scene is calm and natural.
