The image shows a group of birds on a sandy beach. There are several small birds scattered around the beach, some of them are standing in shallow water and some are walking on the shore. In the center of the image, there is a small bird with a black and white striped head and neck, standing in the shallow water. The bird appears to be a plover, as it is facing towards the right side of the frame. The beach is covered in small pebbles and there are a few other birds in the background. The sky is overcast and the water is calm, suggesting that the photo was taken during the day.
