Eagles drifting round North African country (7)
I believe the answer is:
senegal
'african country' is the definition.
(country in Africa)
'eagles drifting round north' is the wordplay.
'drifting' is an anagram indicator.
'round' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'north' becomes 'N' (abbreviation).
'eagles' with letters rearranged gives 'seegal'.
'seegal' enclosing 'n' is 'SENEGAL'.
(Other definitions for senegal that I've seen before include "Country surrounding the Gambia" , "Land" , "Northwest African country" , "Former French colony in Africa" , "W African republic" .)
