The Nicobar Serpent Eagle is a very small and rare raptor endemic to the Nicobar Islands, India. Like other serpent eagles, it primarily preys on reptiles and amphibians, often in dense forest undergrowth.
Where to spot
Restricted to the dense forests of the Nicobar Islands in the Bay of Bengal, India.
How to spot
Look for its small size and typical serpent eagle features: broad wings, rounded tail, and often a crested head. Its coloration is generally dark brown with some spotting. Listen for its calls within the forest, as it is often heard before seen.
When to spot
Year-round, but very difficult to observe due to its small size, secretive nature, and limited range.
