Birds: 3 Assembly Square

 If you were to google "3 Assembly Square", you would learn that it's 'a prime waterfront office development extending to a total of 65,765 sq ft over ground and five upper floors, with undercroft car parking for 70 cars'. It's one of those glass-and-steel office constructions that can be seen in any large city anywhere in the western world but, in my biased eyes, it has one redeeming feature.

At the entrance to the building stands a large plinth that supports a tiny sculpture of two anonymous (are they gulls, perhaps?) rusty looking metallic birds. I've not been able to uncover anything about the birds but they are an inspired addition to an otherwise very ordinary edifice.
