Now raining here, set in since this morning and no real sign of letting up, but did manage a walk and only got soaked second half.  Did manage to get a good photograph of the American Redstart male and say a female Bahama Woodstar humming bird, rather dull in the cloudy conditions but great to see they are here.

Walking through a small village above Baracoa, note the school uniform ahead.  The children all wore uniforms (different ones for each school) and were all clean and smart.
