caption: The image shows a black-necked grebe (Podiceps cristatus) with its black and white feathers glistening in the water. Its head is slightly tilted, giving it a curious expression. Its neck is slightly curved and its beak is slightly open, as if it is about to take flight. Its wings are slightly spread out, and its legs are tucked in close to its body as it gracefully glides through the water's surface.
