Our Man In Havana - Graham Greene

A pleasant night at sea arriving

HAVANA, CUBA at 06:00.

Previous experiences here were enough to know that any serious birding would require a long drive and with chances of seeing the world's smallest bird (Bee Hummingbird) on the Caribbean's largest Island being just short of nil it was decided on a sedate walk around what had previously been a most pleasing city. Mostly a 'pictorial' today, with a few random shots from 8 Deck while awaiting Immigration to issue Visas.

Lots of adult LAUGHING GULLs but this was about the closest.

The city is awash with old cars from the USA

SANDWICH/CAYENNE TERNs were also stand-offish.

Over the rooftops and houses
Lost as it tries to be seen
Fields of incentive
Covered with green (not Graham)
Entangled - Genesis, Trick of a Tail

Keeping the Sea-Ways clean

It'll be nice when it's finished!

Resting BROWN PELICANs

I know these images will bring back some fond memories to my
dear friend Andy Lindsay of Cuba Libras, Cohiba Cigars
and Hairy Legs - private joke!

MILITARY MUSEUM

 Mirror, mirror on the wall
Who is the fairest of them all?
You are Bagsy without a doubt
Thank you mirror, Roger out!

Good Ol' SLOPPY JOE's

Talking of Cuba Libras - Free Cuba - and
a Buccanero or three.

 The old DRAGON BUSES have all been replaced with new.

 As far as cities go, Havana is one of the finest!

HALO ROUND the SUN

 Obscured By Clouds - Pink Floyd

 It's the end of the day and the Clouds roll away.
Battle of Epping Forest - Genesis

I have seen a number of these during my wanderings
but nothing like on this scale.
