I just wrapped up an incredible birding trip to South and Little Andaman, where I spotted and photographed 123 birds, including 47 lifers—species I saw for the first time. The trip was led by Shakti Vel, an amazing bird guide based in Port Blair. He was calm, knowledgeable, and knew exactly where to find each bird. Thanks to him, we not only spotted some incredible species but also managed to take some fantastic photographs.

I could not only see almost all my target birds, but also got excellent photographs of most of them. Sakthi's knowledge of birds is quite praiseworthy.
