The image shows a large bird, specifically a heron, standing on a tree branch in a body of water. The bird is facing towards the right side of the image, with its head turned towards the camera. It has a long, pointed beak and a grey body with white and black markings on its wings and legs. The tree branch is covered in moss and lichen, and there are other trees and bushes in the background. The water is still and reflects the surrounding foliage.
