The image shows a bird, specifically a Great Crested Grebe, swimming in the water. The bird is facing towards the right side of the image and its body is partially submerged in the surface of the water, with its head above the water and its wings slightly spread out. It has a distinctive crest on its head, which is black and white with a red stripe running down the center. The crest has a tuft of black feathers on top, and its beak is slightly open, as if it is about to take flight. The water is calm and still, with small ripples visible on the surface.
