Agree with the smooth water/low light assesment.  Pilot probably just didn't have any experience or training for operations under those conditions. Even water fowl make mistakes occasionally under those conditions.

Sometimes cameras make the ambient light seem brighter than it actually is. It might have been quite dark from the pilot's perspective.
