A bracing walk through Sheringham today, defined by a sharp easterly wind that made the 4°C air feel well below freezing.

  Despite the chill, spring is asserting itself; the “sensational” blue of Greater Periwinkle against ivy and the appearance of wild primroses on a local lawn provided bright spots of colour.

  The transition from the urban town centre to the suburban fringes offered a variety of sightings, from the domestic (a Poodle and a Spaniel) to the wild (wood pigeons calling from deep within the pines).
