WHC Library Presents.....BIRD'S EYE

In April artist Sean Lynch and bird specialist Lloyd Buck will produce a film in Moyross. It will feature a video camera attached to the heads of two peregrine falcons. The falcons will spend several days flying around the neighbourhood and the camera will record a bird's eye view of the area.

Peregrine Falcons can fly up to 100mph and can swoop through the air at speeds of up to 250mph.

As part of the project, a falconry demonstration will occur in Moyross, and all interested parties are kindly invited to contact the library or Sean Lynch for further details on how to get involved.

The project is produced by Watch House Cross Community Library's Percent for Art Scheme.
