Two eagles nested on a thorny tree with no green. I live on the seventh floor and have a top view on the whole tree. It had grown up to that height and suddenly branched into various directions. It is on that junction of four branches that the nest was built. It is not a lovely nest but it is an eagles' nest.
The tree showed no compassion. It was dry as if standing in the middle of a desert.
Yesterday I saw a baby. Light grey, in contrast to darker parents. There could be more babies.
But it is the tree which surprised me.
The thorny branches are now abundant with large red, very red flowers.
The tree must be happy now!
There are snakes in the compound. Snakes like to drink eggs and eat newly hatched babies. But it is suicidal for any snake to raid an eagles' nest, that too upon a thorny tree. I don't know of crows, who are archenemies of eagles. Only a group attack can do any harm as a crow is smaller in size and weaker in confidence.
There are advanced ideas which would make General Theory of Relativity look like an SMS joke.
