Protecting the Nest

This piece was inspired by a walk during the nesting season for the Sooty Turns. It was impossible to take the sandy path to the ocean due to the swooping of the turns as they protected their nests. It felt like a swirling vortex of feathers and sound, both exhilarating and a little bit scary!
