Bird migration is fascinating and an incredible phenomenon. Groups of birds setting off from one place and gathering in another is intriqing. Why do they do it and how do they know how to do it! The advantages of being together as a group as a means of survival is age old. Migration for birds provides a new food source and a familiar breeding ground.
I embarked on this collaborative project with the intention of collecting bird drawings from various groups of people and bringing them together in the form of an exhibition . It is gathering momentum and I am looking at a variety of ways of setting up collection points. Where do we floc to? Tesco's, the doctors surgery, the vets, the cinema, the list is endless. I have now begun to also work with ideas about seed dispersal and the way that they are carried by birds on migration.
