NIGHT FLIGHT

ENQUIRE
These birds fly at night because they are scared of the day. They have flown over millions of people displaced and killed by war, atrocity and injustice and they have flown over land and water killed by pollution. Now they are flying over the peaceful tranquillity of St Ninians Isle in Shetland where in the winter the waters of the sea join to create a pattern of mystical union and oneness. Knowing no national borders, birds are true global travellers and as they migrate around the planet (the only home we have) they bear witness to the mad, chaotic and fragmented world of humanity. If birds could tell us how to live, what might they say?
