A Golden Eagle on your arm makes you feel like a warrior king. Excalibur was never as good as this. A thrilling and yet a humbling experience for a mere human. When the huge wings spread and the weight was lifted, I actually fell over and from the ground watched a part of my soul rise into the skies for ever. Those who gathered round to help me to my feet did not know that part of me was flying in formation with that eagle. 

One of several sightings. Also in prose as 'Puma', a winning entry in BBC Wildlife Magazine Nature Writer of the Year. 

Henry Williamson once described himself as a 'fake merchant' when he worked in Fleet Street.
