Eagles shot round north of country (7)
I believe the answer is:
senegal
'country' is the definition.
(Senegal is an example)
'eagles shot round north' is the wordplay.
'shot' indicates an anagram.
'round' is an insertion indicator.
'north' becomes 'n' ('N' can be a synonym of 'north').
'eagles' anagrammed gives 'seegal'.
'seegal' enclosing 'n' is 'SENEGAL'.
'of' is the link.
(Other definitions for senegal that I've seen before include "Former French colony in Africa" , "Republic in northwestern Africa" , "Dakar is its capital" , "Sea glen in the African state" , "West African country" .)
