good job you didn't delete it.
I've got loads of pictures of birds and whilst they seem like a good idea when I take them, they all look so boring when I get home.
Why?
Because they don't have anything else of interest in the picture.
The reeds in the foreground really give it a sense of depth.
And also of movement.
And it shows some of the enviroment that you were in when you took the picture.

I'm glad you are getting out of the house more :-)

Excellent rection time, and fortunate that your camera was ready. I like the weeds as they add a sense of what the scene looks like instead of just a bird with water behind it.

Yes, amazing that the focus is on the bird. Love the color of the reeds in contrast to the water/sky/bird. Great shot.

i reckon the reeds really work and great capture .. i find photography a very exciting pursuit!!! ... especially at moments like this one ......
i have my camera set so that it turns itself off/standby if i havent pressed any buttons for about 30 secs ... that way if something happens and i've gotta be quick, then at least i dont have to turn it on ... i need all the help i can get!!! ..
