A sea eagle flew above the house this morning. All the geese scarpered and I expected the eagle to move on since there was nothing to interest it, I was so sure it was about to leave that I stubbornly didn't go inside to get binoculars. In fact it circled and glided for 15 minutes, the sun catching its white tail. After 5 minutes my neck became cricked and I got pins and needles in the hand shading my eyes so I lay on the picnic table to enjoy luxury viewing. With the sound of waves breaking to my left and a wren proclaiming ownership of everything to my right it was a marvellous start to the day!
