I was not-so-patiently waiting for the tidal bore and mused, “It would be nice if at least the eagles were here to entertain us while we wait”.  Tada, first one then two and ultimately five eagles appeared in the sky just over us and magnificently rose through the thermals until they were out of sight.  I suppose it was actually timed with the coming of the tide but I like to think that they came there just then for me!
