Nicobar  Hawk  Owl ( Isolata) Continuing with my earlier post on the  Rare Fauna of Great Nicobar , Nicobar has eight endemic birds which are found nowhere but in the islands of Nicobar. They are - Nicobar Megapode, Nicobar Bulbul, Nicobar Imperial Pigeon, Nicobar Scops Owl, Nicobar Serpent Eagle, Nicobar Parakeet, Nicobar Jungle Flycatcher, and Nicobar Sparrowhawk. Besides these birds, there are quite a few of the Andaman species as well as birds from the Indian mainland that are found in Great Nicobar. These bird pictures have been taken by Soma Jha during her recent visit to Great Nicobar.
