The image is of a bird, specifically a Merganser, standing on a sandy beach. The bird is facing towards the right side of the image, with its head slightly tilted to the left. It has a distinctive red beak and a black and white striped body with a red crest on its head. Its wings are spread out and its tail feathers are fanned out behind it. Its feet are red and its legs are slightly bent at the knees. The background is blurred, but it appears to be a beach with small rocks and pebbles scattered around.
