The image shows a bird, specifically a cormorant, perched on a log by the water. The bird is facing towards the right side of the image, with its head turned slightly to the left. It has a long, pointed beak and a black body with a white crest on its head. The log is brown and appears to be weathered, with patches of grass and reeds growing around it. The water in the background is calm and still, with small waves visible on the surface. The sky is overcast and the overall mood of the photo is peaceful and serene.
