My 100th posting. (However I deleted some photos. I’m an amateur and I learn from mistakes). In December 2006 I started with my first photo on TN. And especially in the first months I learned a lot. And I’m still learning every day. I’d like to THANK everyone who has taken time to look at and comment my postings. I really appreciate it. If possible I look every day at your new photos and give comments too. TN is a great hobby now.

This photo is a special-one for me. I walked in the Pantanal on my own. Suddenly I saw this Spot-backed Puffbird (Nystalus maculatus). From a close distance he looked at me and I looked at him for about five minutes. I was impressed.

The Spot-backed Puffbird is a species of puffbird in the Bucconidae family. It is found in Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, and Paraguay. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical dry forests and dry savanna.
It’s 18 cm. Yellow-brown band on upper breast. White underparts spotted black.
Voice tremulous tewre-tewtewre-tewtewre; distant birds alternate, sometimes for long periods.

Hello Peter,
Congratulations on your 100th posting and what a beauty it is! I've never heard of Puffbirds before but they must be related to Kingfishers. What luck to be able to spot it when out on your own! Excellent capture in beautiful light. Great sharpness and fine colours. I lovely composition too.
TFS and regards, Ulla

Hi Peter,
CONGRATULATIONS on reaching 100 and what a shot to celebrate the occasion! You have a marvellous gallery which anyone would be proud of. Keep them coming.
This is another exquisite shot with such sharp details and colours on its plumage. I like the warm evening light and the way the cute one is perched. The blue sky as BG looks nice and perfectly highlights the subjects. Excellent POV and a precise DOF. Very nicely composed. Kudos.
TFS.
