Cuban Nightjar Anstrostomus cubanensis 16 Mar 2018 Zapata © Julia Wittmann
I am very grateful to Julia Wittmann and Christoph Moning from Germany who have kindly provided some wonderful photos of birds and other wildlife taken on their recent trip to Cuba, and allowed me to share them here on the website. Thank you Julia and Christoph. I have replaced some of my own rather poor shots, that I had included as a stop gap, with theirs which are of a much higher quality.

With these additions there are now just two of the thirty Cuban endemics that are not yet featured here. The Zapata Wren below is only found on the Zapata Peninsular in south-west Cuba. It is not the easiest bird to see, we tried and failed though we did hear it singing in the distance, so to get shots like this is quite an achievement.
