This book is the result of a remarkable bird photography journey through the Andaman Islands, shared with two close friends and my brother, guided by local birding experts, Radika and Mani.

From the lush forest canopies to coastal mangroves, we encountered a stunning diversity of birds—both endemic and migratory. With my Nikon Z8 in hand, I captured moments that reflect not just the beauty of these birds, but their behaviors, habitats, and untold stories.

One such moment was an intense standoff between Asian Glossy Starlings and Red-breasted Parakeets—a reminder that even in paradise, nature plays by its own wild rules.

This volume is a tribute to those fleeting encounters and to the untamed wonder of the Andamans.
