Sitting by a moth trap when it is cold gives enough time for a wren or two...

Hard to believe this hasn't been played yet. (On my Kenya trip we called them "awful buggers" because they were everywhere, and every raptor we saw turned out to be just another awful bugger).

3471 I hope it is ok to add a link to the photo in the gallery here rather than upload again.

Grenada Tanager

The bird was truly holding its head downwards most of the time I saw it, including in this photo. Current taxonomy has this one as Lesser Antillean Tanager, but it is split by the newest field guide.

www.birdforum.net

Species is currently known as Lesser Antillean Tanager, but at least one field guide considers that two species, of which Grenada Tanager will become one.
