The Cobb's wren is confined to the Falklands Islands and to the outer tussock islands (like Carcass) which remain cat and rat free. Likes loose boulder beaches with deposits of kelp adjacent to Tussock Grass and that describes perfectly the beach where this bird was seen.
The book* says:
- upper parts light rusty brown
- wings cinnamon brown with small darker grey-brown bars and upper tail similar but with darker brown bars
- underparts slightly lighter
- bill slightly curved and fairly long
- feet and legs brown

Let's hope these pictures help confirm it:
