Spotted by the River
As the title says, I have no idea what sort of bird this is. I was really just playing with zoom and depth of field.

It's a sort of Tern. Either a Crested Tern or Lesser Crested Tern at a guess. Lovely shot too - lucky thing!

Love the colours in this shot and a lovely creamy background. What lens did you use?

Little Me
I took it using my Lumix FZ28 at full 18x optical extended to 27x using digital zoom.
I usually avoid digital zoom like a plague, but this time it worked OK.
