Photo by @ippei.janine｜ The north wind has cooled down the islands quickly❄ but let's not be sad! The ocean is still warm and, even in wintertime, you can enjoy the white beaches and emerald blue sea.⠀

This gorgeous eagle was sitting right by the roadside!😍 I couldn't believe my luck as we, slowly, crept closer with the car until I could snap this picture with my smartphone‼!😆 🦅🦅🦅⠀
.⠀
You can quite often see crested serpent eagles sitting on the phone lines or close to a newly cut field when you drive here. Just remember to look up, unless you're driving of course😅⠀
