On the plinth: parrot lover's time of reckoning inches closer

Remember our news story (September 3) about Richard Fisher, a primary school teacher, who's to spend an hour on Trafalgar Square's Fourth Plinth -- dressed as a parrot?
Well, Mr Fisher's 60-minutes of fame is inching closer: he takes to the plinth as part of Antony Gormley's One & Other exhibition tomorrow night between 10pm and 11pm.
He's doing it all in the name of a good cause: raising funds for the National Parrot Centre, a rescue centre based in Lincolnshire.
To sponsor Richard you can visit his website and you can watch him perform his daredevil stunt tomorrow evening via the official webcam.
