Eagle is the common name for the golden eagle, bald eagle, and other birds of prey in the family of the Accipitridae. Eagles belong to several groups of genera, some of which are closely related. True eagles comprise the genus Aquila. Most of the 68 species of eagles are from Eurasia and Africa. [1]

Those who spotted an eagle were offered tokens worth 3d, which could be exchanged at newsagents for a free copy of Eagle.

Aquila is the genus of true eagles. The genus name is Latin for "eagle", possibly derived from aquilus , "dark in colour". [ 1 ] It is often united with the sea eagles , buteos , and other more heavyset Accipitridae , but more recently they appear to be less distinct from the slenderer accipitrine hawks than previously believed.
