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 Contest: Golden Eagle Sponsor: Shadow Hamilton 3rd October 2015

Great one, Jan...Congratulations! Do you live in Scotland? I've been dreaming of visiting there ever since I spent hours watching the series, Monarch of the Glen. Since you're coming to see me to get a Banana Split, I'll have to return the visit.
