The image shows a black-winged stilt wading in shallow water. The bird is standing on one leg and its reflection can be seen on the surface of the water. It has a long, slender body with a black head and wings, and a white underbelly. Its long, pointed beak is slightly open, as if it is searching for food. The water is a light blue color and there are small ripples around the bird. The background is blurred, but it appears to be a sandy beach or marshland.
