In this book, Brutus Östling has chosen to visit the realm of theeagles, especially the Sea or White-tailed Eagle and the Golden Eagle,but we also get to meet other birds such as gulls, eider ducks, forestgrouse etc - birds that are at home in the same biotope as thesemagnificent birds of prey. Brutus Östling's unmistakable and uniquephotos are interspersed with reflections around the eagle in nature,and in our consciousness through history. Staffan Söderblom, well knownfor his lyrical descriptions of nature, has written the texts -sometimes these are a comment on the pictures, sometimes they widen theperspective and deepen the interpretation.
