Amidst Highland Glens

"without a care in the world the Grouse freely roam" A quiet hush abounds amidst the scenic Highland Glens Whilst saltire skies above silhouette a Golden Eagle against it's blue Swooping shadowing heathers to return to soar above the Ben's It's keen eyes in capture seeing movements amongst the mornings dew For chicks it has to feed, from the heights down she flew In quiet posture Amongst the ruins of a croft A Kestrel perches Caressing the horizon In awe, but so vigilant On skeletal branches, crows a caw- their safety in numbers allow
