A Bird in the Hand, by Keith Goodwin, stands on the extrance to Parkleys and for many years it has been all but concealed by the vegetation around it, which I assume was not the original plan. The recent tree work in that section of Parkleys has opened up this view from Upper Ham Road.
The statue is best observed side-on so I am not sure that removing mature trees to create this view was a good idea,
The tree fell down in a windy spell earlier this year. (Shame about the visible stumps though)
