Peregrinations: Norfolk and Norwich Festival 2021 by Holly Bodmer
Bird’s Eye View: was live art performance at Norwich cathedral By Eyebrow Arts (Dot Howard and Sorrel Muggridge)and Corton House residential care home Norwich.
Alongside the peregrines themselves, the core inspiration behind ‘Bird’s Eye View’ has been the words, language, and observations of the peregrine Bloggers and residents at Corton House care home, as they too watched the nest box via the live web cam and shared their thoughts and observations with us.
“They are all now engaged with these chicks (which is great) and it has encouraged conversations with residents who are normally not engaging with others…It’s wonderful to hear them taking such an interest”.
Maria, Activities Co-ordinator, Corton House.
When visiting the cathedral to research, observe and devise, Dot and Sorrel have taken advice from J A Baker’s book ‘Peregrine’:
“To be recognised and accepted by the peregrine you must wear the same clothes, travel by the same way and perform actions in the same order. Persist, endure, follow, watch.”
With thanks to the staff and residents of Corton House for their eager participation and to all of the enduring, persistent watchers who follow and celebrate the peregrine’s behaviour.
