Cycling

The statue depicts a lifelike cormorant and was erected to commemorate the 25th anniversary of the RSPB (Royal Society for the Protection of Birds) in Carlisle. Brian Fell, born in 1952, is known for his unique cold-forging technique, in which steel is formed by hammering and bending without heating. The statue resembles weathered wood, but is actually made of steel. The base is made of Lazonby stone, sourced from a village about 15 miles south of Carlisle.
