I have got simply no idea, Maggie!

A terrapin?

It's a bird.

Oh yes, its head is at the other end.

I've still got no idea, though! Sorry

Female Blackbird??

Beak is too small Peter I think.

Is it a young moorhen, perhaps?

They don't have tails Astajevs. Well, they have little tails.

I'm with Peter in saying it looks like a female Blackbird Maggie. It looks as though it's beak is half in the water, a thirsty bird.

I'm not doing very well here.

A female blackbird, or perhaps another thrush with the detail obscured by the distance and the fact its bent over leaning forwards?
