Northumberland coastal village toilet exhibits giant eight foot tall bird bill-boards...

Yesterday (Thursday 29 April) the exterior walls of a public lavatory in the Northumberland coastal village of Seahouses, became an unlikely location for the region's latest piece of public art.

Two 8 foot tall billboards of resident birds - the eider duck and yellowhammer - are a temporary sight for the next five months, acting as a welcoming feature to the thousands of people expected to visit the North East fishing village this summer.

Seahouses is known as 'The Gateway to the Farne Islands'.  A part of the British Isles recognised as a wildlife haven that is enjoyed all year round by global nature lovers - who flock to the Farnes from far and wide to sample one of the jewels of the Northumberland coastline.

The artwork has been created by visual artist Stuart Mugridge who is currently Seahouses' appointed Visiting Artist.
