Non-polluting flight paths over Dartmoor
Last summer the Covid pandemic left our blue skies over Dartmoor completely free from scarring by the vapour trails of numerous, polluting aeroplanes. Unfortunately, planes are now used as if they’re buses! Many people ignore the price nature is paying for the “convenience” of our often unnecessary, heavily polluting air travel.
These sculptures represent “slices” through specific environments around Dartmoor, each slice focusing on the non-polluting flight path of one type of bird found in that area. ORANGE lines trace each bird’s unique flight path from nest to food source; Swallows and House Martins swooping for flies, Nuthatches searching tree bark for grubs, Owls prowling at night for mice, etc.
Other flight paths trace nest-building flights, such as Magpies collecting twigs to weave enormous nests in tree forks, capable of withstanding the strongest winds. Or the wonderful, spiralling courtship flights of Woodpeckers amongst woodland trees.
