is sunshine in the North, in the Western Isles i t is raining, and


vice-versa. During our excursion we were


fortunate. With most of England swept by rain, the North West escaped with showers or the odd wet day. i t was on such a day th a t we chose to go along the


the glen to the eagles’ nest. Duncan, our host, a fte r planning


to gather some sheep from a


section of his land, had been delayed and so. .shortly before three o'clock he proposed we all , conic along together. We were glad of the offer,


mainly on account of the s tate of the bog through which we had to pass before entering the glen. The rain made progress dangerous and a t times difficult. Several of the gullies stretching across the moss were deep in water and a slip would have meant considerable excitement So. with D u n c a n leading, followed by "Mist” his faithfuL dog. we trooped along in typical Indian file.


Shaejt trails How this fellow knew his land!


And how he made good use of the sheep trails! We also had found this method successful on previous occasions. But this was


more tricky and so for the next half hour wc played "follow my


leader.” Then, clearing a wire fence, we pushed our way through heavy bracken dripping with rain. Luckily we were prepared for such an emergency and with waterproofs from head to toe had nothing to fear from the weather. As wc entered the glen we skirted the burn and soon came to the rising higher ground. Here Duncan left us with a "Cheerio, sec you later.” We went on a few hundred


yards and halted where, ju s t opposite on the rocky blufT. was


the eyrie. I t was to all intents and purposes a typical wet high­ land afternoon, not a heavy downpour, ju s t a s lanting fine rain which fell as a curtain as wc s a t and watched the nest. Thank goodness for the water­ proofs—we were dry. Half an hour went by. the rain ceased, and from nowhere came the p arent eagle almost over our heads to alight on the edge of the huge nest. As she braked we were astonished a t the colossal spread nf wing and also a t the heavy, though leisurely, beating

just before alighting. How we had escaped notice I do not know, for we were only hidden by th e tall bracken. Then, with what appeared to be complete indifference she look olf and went down the glen. The young eaglet, almost fully fledged, stood with a disgusted look wondering, I suppose, what caused the sudden departure. Then, as if to demand a reply, s tar ted to voice disapproval or perhaps hunger. Whatever the cause, the noise, resounding from the cliff face, was hollow and amplified. "Clielp." "Chelp," you could have heard it half a mile away. We sat admiring the magnifi­


cent creature as he or she stood motionless, eyeing the two humans with a fierce diabolical expression only seen in a bird of prey. We laughed a t ourselves and thought, of the amusement it all would give if only you could have seen ‘'Naturalist*’ in such a situation. Always ready to fortify the


"inner man,” wc look out the flask to feel the friendly warmth of a good highland brew. A few


minutes later, still well hidden bv our waterproofs. I spotted two fine creatures, noble and undecided, not far down the glen. They were quite near the bog. two fine creatures, noble and agile, with grace in every move­ ment. I t was almost 8 p.m. when we


returned to the croft and Duncan did not retu rn until just before midnight. He was soaked. In spite of Wellingtons, water­ proof leggings and oilskin the rain had run down his neck. Nine hours gathering sheep on a typical highland wet. day over the roughest country imaginable is a strenuous task you can be assured. Indeed, and this brings me to another point concerning conditions in the . Highlands. Comparison is not easy and sometimes is liable to give offence. Of th is I am fully aware and tru s t my observations will not be in any way misinterpreted or give a false impression. My feeling for those who wrest a livelihood from the land is one of admiration. The work is long and the weather fa r from co-operative. You can switch off the machines or close a book on Friday night, but
