Golden Eagle - For Contest
On thermals high a golden eagle flies
Such a stunning sight in our blue skies
In Scotland we can observe them there
But in Britain they are really really rare
Golden eagles in Scotland will remain
Their territory is their own domain
They grace the sky amid clouds so white
An eagle in flight is an awesome sight
They build their nest in remote places
Sadly predators are from human faces
A female will lay eggs, as many as three
High in an eyrie, right at the top of a tree
Swooping and calling the parents find food
For they need to feed their hungry brood
Often only one fledgling survives to fly
Nature can be cruel - the other chicks die
