A man with his flock of ducks in Ajmeriganj Upazila, a haor region (low-lying area) of Bangladesh. As agriculture is difficult, people depend on raising poultry. Due to lack of dry land during rainy season, people in haor prefer ducks over chicken. Farming window is also limited to 4-5 months in a year. Rest of the time most of the hoar remains under water and commute is possible only by boat.
