This was planned for a hill in Alfriston, East Sussex originally as a crane but planning permission was not granted and it has found a home in Brighton, on East Hill at Whitehawk. .

History.

Constructed by Paul Harrington and Fin Lynch with help from Bernard and June Evans and the Friends of Sheepcote Valley as well as a few others including myself, during August and Sept 2001.

The hawk is looking in poor state (2013) and needs urgent attention if it is not to be lost.
