Sinister birds (sculptures)

Malvern Buzzards, Rosebank Gardens, Great Malvern

Assorted metal sculptures of birds which look sinister to me. The Malvern buzzards may be intended as an adult feeding a young bird. But as it catches the early morning sun it looks to me more like an all-out territorial dispute.

The swan on a roundabout at Stratford seems to be stretching itself to prove that it can break a man’s arm. I’ll leave you to decide for yourself about the final image, a “bird” near the river in Cologne.
