Birds' Nests and Eggs Exhibition

[Rob MacKillop]

Just back from a really wonderful and inspiring film and installation on birds' nests and eggs, held at the gallery of Edinburgh's botanic gardens. Just phone shots, I'm afraid, from the Huawei P9.

My post above doesn't give any idea of how inspiring and uplifting it was. Susan and I came out energised. What an incredible world we live in.

As a boy, used to steal bird's eggs from nests. Sad. Then once, as a boy, in cavalier fashion, I fired a rock from a sling at a wee bird in a tree. Actually hit it. Down it fell from the limb it had been happily perched upon. I was mortified. Been scarred for life since then so I have.

Bonnie foties.

Brian, all you had to say was you are Glaswegian, then all the rest follows

There's no way you're getting me into that giant, person eating nest!!!!

The nest is the normal size, Chris. My wife, on the other hand, is very small...

Haha!! You're so funny Rob.
However, a really nice set of pictures, I would also love to visit this place!

First of all, I would say that the concept is amazing! That giant nest is made so accurate, that at the first sight it looks like, it is prepared by a bird itself! Thank you so much, Rob, for sharing such a wonderful set of photos!

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Thank you, Prashant. The eggs were also man-made, or more accurately, woman-made. It was a very interesting exhibition.

Ah, that looks like a great exhibition! I'd go there, if it would be here. If you understand what I mean.....

Phone shots they may be, but they're enough to make me want to see it.
