The end of summer has turned dull. O’er rugged land on Isle of Mull a golden eagle flies up high where the wind howls and clouds float by, then it glides down graceful and free towards a tall imposing tree. There it alights. It comes to rest upon the branches where its nest is placed in order to outwit unwelcome foes. The fledglings sit excited, for it is now time to flap their wings and upwards climb. Calling each other as they soar, swooping and circling by the shore as mother eagle looks from high she keeps on them a watchful eye. -------------------------------------------- 21st October, 2015 Contest: Golden Eagle Sponsor: Shadow Hamilton Placed 2nd
