The image shows a bird, specifically a bittern, perched on a thin branch in a body of water. The bird is facing towards the right side of the image and its head is turned slightly to the left. It has a long, pointed beak and a light brown body with darker brown stripes on its wings and legs. The branch it is perched on is covered in moss and there is a small amount of water visible in the bottom right corner. In the background, there are tall, green reeds and reeds that are partially submerged in the water.
