Cobb's wren
I took this shot of a tiny Cobb's wren on one of the beaches on Carcass Islands in the Falklands. They are endemic in the archipelago, but you only find them on islands where there are no rats. This one was scuttling about in the flotsam and jetsam, looking for the sandfly larvae that were everywhere when you turned over a piece of seaweed.
