A truly wonderful piece! I saw an eagle once up on the moors in the Highlands. It was like someone had pressed the pause button on time and everyone and everything stood still. Like a choir boy's solo voice filling a cathedral. No wonder it changed everything.

Loved your choir boy description for the eagle's presence!

I love the way you describe allowing birds to enter ones perception; differentiating between 'monitoring' bird life through birdwatching from that of simply being with these extraordinary creatures. Your connection with them really comes through this piece on so many levels. I really enjoyed reading it.

Beautiful, Angie. I was especially touched by the image of you cradling the warbler. Did it fly off after its rest?

Thank you, Jessica :-). It did! It woke up, all sleepy, looked at me full of surprise and curiosity, blinked, stretched, and flew away into the shrubs 🥰
