We will rise early to take advantage of the best morning birding opportunities. We will pack our breakfast and even bring our lunches in bags because time is essential in these early hours. After a brief drive, we board a ferry to reach Shoal Bay, a region of marshy wetlands and rainforests where numerous aquatic birds assemble.

Nearly all of the Andaman Islands' endemic birds can be found in Shoal Bay, along with various other avian beauties. The Andaman Woodpecker, Fulvous-breasted Woodpecker, Dollarbird, Blue-eared Kingfisher, Oriental Dwarf Kingfisher, Stork-billed Kingfisher, Ruddy Kingfisher, Blue-tailed Bee-eater, among many more, may all be seen near Shoal Bay on a good birding day.

We will have to pack our lunches in Shoal Bay and continue birding there until the evening when we head back to our accommodation in Port Blair for supper and the night so as not to disturb our birding routine.

We will leave our hotel in Port Blair and travel an hour to Chidiya Tapu (Bird Island), where we will spend the entire day birding. The walk leads directly into the centre of the mangrove island and along its coastal forest, beginning about 4 kilometres before Chidiya Tapu.

Numerous endemic, resident and migratory birds can be found in the area's woods and waters. You can see the Andaman Crake, Andaman Woodpecker, Andaman Treepie, Andaman Serpent Eagle, and Andaman Shama, among many other species, during a successful day of birding at Chidiya Tapu.

We will lounge on the beach for about an hour or so in the evening while enjoying the sunset. Additionally, there are some nearby water sports opportunities. We will search the area for nighttime avian species, including the Andaman Masked Owl, Andaman Scops Owl, Oriental Scops Owl, Brown Hawk Owl, Andaman Hawk Owl, Hume's Hawk Owl, Andaman Nightjar, and Andaman Barn Owl after sunset.

After a productive night of nighttime birding, we will head back to our hotel for supper and the night.

The third-highest peak in the Andaman and Nicobar Islands, Mount Harriet, inspired the name of Mount Harriet National Park. Due to the magnificent flora and fauna found here, it is a favourite destination for birders and nature lovers. The park boasts a unique marine ecology on its eastern shore, known as a butterfly hotspot.

We will get here early in the morning to make the most of our birding expedition to Mount Harriet National Park, located approximately 10 kilometres from Port Blair. A day of birding here unveils a wide range of avifauna, including Andaman Woodpecker, Andaman Wood Pigeon, Andaman Cuckoo Dove, Andaman Crake, Eurasian Golden Oriole, Black-naped Oriole, Black-hooded Oriole, Large Cuckooshrike, Bar-bellied Cuckooshrike, Ashy Minivet, Small Minivet, Andaman Drongo, Greater Racket-tailed Drongo, Black-naped Monarch, Asian Paradise Flycatcher, Blue Rock Thrush, Fulvous-breasted Woodpecker, Dollarbird, Collared Kingfisher, Brown Coucal, Alexandrine Parakeet, Red-breasted Parakeet, Pintail Snipe, White-bellied Sea Eagle, Andaman Treepie, Orange-headed Thrush, Olive-backed Sunbird, and White-headed Starling, and many others.
