I have seen this bird sitting on ice on the water reservoir Džbán in Prague.
Nothing special as this is quite usuall bird, but the legs were good visible. Look at it.

Awesome shot @birdwatcher!
Strange feet indeed, are they
frozen in the water?

No the bird is in good order. It is water over ice. No problem.

Nice photography @birdwatcher. The bird's feet is strange to me. I think it has such feet to float over water.

Nice capture. Strange feet on that bird.
