Very nice shot, Richard. I like to see the colour of the eye, as I do.

[Satish Ranadive]

Excellent image with nice lights and great details.I like the pose of the bird. Vertical composition will be great IMO.

[Peter Dexter]

Very nice sharp image of him. Would love to see one. I've only seen the Black-breasted.

[Jim Crosswell]

Nice image Richard! I have never seen a Puffbird before. I like the red eye, details and pose.
