A taxidermy diorama featuring three avian specimens presented in a naturalistic marshland-style habitat. The specimens include a male Eurasian Teal (Anas crecca) positioned on the left, a male Northern Shoveler (Spatula clypeata) to the right, and a Water Rail (Rallus aquaticus) at the base. The birds are mounted amidst dried reeds and grasses on a mossy, rocky-textured foundation. The display features a hand-painted backdrop depicting a pale blue sky with clouds. The scene is housed in a rectangular hardwood case with glass panels to three sides, finished with a stepped moulded base and a conforming top edge.
