Collective Nouns

‘Collective Nouns’ explores the collective names for a variety of birdlife native to the Broomfield area, combining these with the footprints of the respec-tive birds. The pavement markers are cast bronze and have been installed into the tarmac paving around the central roundabout feature containing the ‘Birdland’ sculptural piece.
