About this species
The Andaman Serpent Eagle is an island endemic found only in the South Andaman and Rutland Islands — a medium-sized raptor of the island's dense tropical forests. More easily seen and heard than mainland serpent eagles due to the island's open canopy. Port Blair's forest areas and Chidiyatapu Biological Park offer reliable sightings. See Andaman Serpent Eagles on the Andaman Islands. Island endemic raptor — birding guide and Andaman forest tour planning.

Plan field days around Jan–Dec: light is often strongest at dawn and dusk, when many mammals and birds are most active. Work with a naturalist who knows local movement patterns — they will position you ethically while improving your odds of a encounter in Mount Harriet National Park.
