Funded by Arts Council England, Birds of Passage is a contemporary art installation commissioned by the RSPB for their sculpture trail at
Fairhaven Lake, Lancs. The Ribble Estuary is one of the most important stopping places for migratory birds in the UK and this work connects the passage of birds to the global movement of people.
The piece addresses why birds migrate and where from, giving insight into the unique environmental importance of the estuary.
The board is programmed with animations; a guest artwork, The
Language of Birds by Rebecca Chesney; information about which
birds can be seen, where they have arrived from, where they are going; information about the estuary and live updates.
