    too dark, poorly cropped and the white balance by the duck is too cold.

    It should look something like this:
     

    Notice the difference?

    The bird is too small.
    You should have used a longer telephoto lens.
    Also, since it's centered in the frame, it would be better if you paid more attention to the composition.

    The photo below has a blue white balance.

    I’ve used what I got at the time a 70-300 lens

    If I’ll crop it will it be better?

     

    “The photo below has a blue white balance.”

    how can if fix that?

    When photographing wild birds, some photographers use lenses ranging from 400mm to 800mm.
    A 300mm lens is insufficient for photographing wild birds.

    White balance can be set in-camera before shooting.
    Also, if you shoot in RAW format, you can correct the image using software such as Lightroom.
