The Birdwatcher
Two investigators approach a birdwatching hut deep in the forest following the reported disappearance of a grieving man. As they piece together this man’s final moments, the evidence they gather becomes increasingly unnerving and hard to explain. Sea birds flock to the hut far inland, scrimshaw sits next to ancient Celtic artefacts on the shelves. Situated in Cornwall and drawing upon the county’s natural environment, seafaring tradition, Celtic history, and Cornish language – The Birdwatcher takes its themes from a time when the world seemed much larger, mysterious, and frightening, drawing parallels with the xenophobia in the contemporary moment.
