About the book >.>.> I am honoured to write a foreword for this reprint of Days with the Golden Eagle; Seton Gordon's classic book on golden eagles is still relevant for today's readers. Eagles are long-lived birds and their ancestral hunting and nesting sites continue through the ages. Many of the eyrie sites that Seton Gordon visited in the early decades of the last century remain in use by golden eagles, as they were for centuries before even he first knew them. It is important that people interested in eagles understand the historical dimensions of this magnificent bird. Even for a long-lived bird like the eagle, there is no possibility that any of those that he studied could still be alive today, but it is wonderful to think that the 'grandchildren of some of them may be, for the oldest golden eagles in Scotland live to over thirty years. Interestingly, as I re-read his book I could also recognise the family names of keepers and stalkers, his contacts long ago, being the fathers or grandfathers of persons whom I have.…

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - Writer and photographer, Seton Gordon, wrote 27 books over a period of several decades and most of these focused on the landscape and wildlife of the Highlands. Of all these books, one of the most acclaimed was Days with the Golden Eagle. Seton Gordon was among the first to observe in some detail through countless hours in his hide the daily life of this magnificent bird and to present in his books an account of their habitat, diet and behaviour. But his writing was much more than that his books are interwoven with acute observation and his narrative possesses a clarity that ensures the reader sees as much as Seton Gordon himself saw. From life day to day on the eyrie, through the different Scottish landscapes and the interaction of the eagles with other wildlife it is all covered, and all in his inimitable style:The eagle as she broods on her eyrie in this country of wild primeval forest has an inspiring view. She looks across to the high tops and sees the early morning sun flood the snowy slopes with rosy light. She hears from the forest below her the soft bubbling notes of the amorous blackcock at their fighting-ground, and the wild clarion call of the missel-thrush as he greets the April dawn. Other sounds she hears: the hoarse bark of a hind, the curious sneezing cry of a capercaillie on some pine tree, the distant melody of curlew and golden plover on the brown moorland, the becking of a cock grouse as he shakes the frosty dew from his plumage. I remember once spending a night beside an eagle at the eyrie and seeing the first sun-flush burn upon her golden head, so that it was no longer golden but deep rose coloured; and so I like to picture that lonely eyrie on many calm, sunny days when spring is young and when all the life of the lonely upland places is commencing slowly to stir to the increasing power of the sun.…
