When and Where to Photograph Narcondam Hornbill

The Narcondam Hornbill is one of the world's rarest birds — found only on the tiny volcanic island of Narcondam in the Andaman and Nicobar chain. With a total population of under 400 individuals, every visit to this remote island (which requires special permits) is an extraordinary conservation experience.

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 key reserves across India.
