This photo was taken in Shiretoko Rausu, Hokkaido, Japan. In wintertime, white-tailed eagles migrate to these waters. They fly and walk on the drift ice. This photo shows the moment a white-tailed sea eagle swallows a fish. The moment they close their eyes. Just as their eyes twinkle, life also twinkles. It is such a beautiful and fleeting moment of predation.

I am a landscape and wildlife photographer with a wide range of genres in Japan. I usually work as a construction worker and enjoy using my camera. I work for various companies and NFT in a wide range of fields. I started participating in international photo contests outside of Japan in 2022!
