Arriving at the plateau, we hear the piercing cry of a startled marmot. Our eyes immediatly look upwards and there above our heads, we see a golden eagle soaring high on the light summer winds.
Spotting a golden eagles may be a rare occurence, even here in the Pyrenees. But whilst listening to the radio this morning, I was thrilled to discover this morning that golden eagles are infact all around us.
Our modern lower-case letter "a", an ancient relic of Egyptian hieroglyphs, is infact based upon the shape of a perched eagle.
