The image shows a small bird standing on a frozen lake. The bird is facing towards the right side of the image and appears to be walking on the ice. It has a long, pointed beak and a grey body with black and white speckles on its wings and legs. Its head is slightly tilted downwards and its eyes are focused on something in the distance. The lake is covered in snow and ice, and there are bare branches visible in the background. The sky is overcast and the overall mood of the photo is cold and desolate.
