AN unusual artwork has been installed in Kielder Water & Forest Park in Northumberland.
As part of the Heritage Lottery funded “Living Wild at Kielder” project, and Kielder Art & Architecture, Plashetts Rising, has been created to emerge from the depths of Kielder Water.
The sculpted rock-scape has been designed and developed with an ornithologist to ensure it works as an eye-catching piece of design as a look-out perch for ospreys and other birds to look for fish to catch and as a convenient resting place for all types of birdlife.
Kielder Living Landscape Manager Katy Barke, said:“This giant, dramatic resting place should be particularly popular with ospreys who feed on live fish and look for their food by hovering.”
