The Narrative
   At 14:00, the temperature hovered around 18°C (64°F), though the Norfolk wind chill made it feel a touch cooler.
    Stepping out today for a change of scenery, I crossed a remarkably green field that had somehow escaped the recent heatwave. Down on the shore, I captured photos of the rolling waves and a contrasting, wild bank of poppies thriving among the weeds.
    Along the cliff top, I crossed paths with a couple walking three Chihuahuas. Amusingly, the man was pushing a small, empty pram which he laughed was for one of the dogs! Further on, a wood pigeon perched on a flower-covered fence, posing like a seasoned model.

Posing pigeon

My camera stayed busy: I snapped a small flock of birds in a tree—later identified by Google Lens as Fieldfares—and spotted a vibrant patch of pink Sorrel, while a chorus of sparrows chattered inside a thick hedge at the end of the beach road. Down on the sand, a Cockapoo-type dog was bounding around a family near some massive granite boulders placed for coastal defence.
   Heading back, a solitary crow watched me intently before hopping swiftly out of reach. My final shot of the day was a cheeky robin redbreast, proudly perched on the stone head of a garden statue, watching the world go by.
