Yes I have seen him, you only seem to spot it as a passenger or if you are stuck in a traffic queue.

I'v seen it . It looks great urban legend has it that it's a giant freak that roamed around the woods in the 1800's and use to hunt normal people when alone and kill them with the sleage hammer and eat there brains !

You'll find at least one thread on here explaining this sculpture.
He is titled "Parkway Man".

The one off Rutland Road is a hawk of some sort, and a little boy with 'big gloves' ? sitting on his back

Is it made of woven willow wands? There's a dragon being made this way in a meadow near to us. Kids can enter through its mouth and play inside - its massive - it's great to see kids being swallowed by a thirty foot dragon! Kiddin'!
