A flock of gulls are giving a seaside greeting to hospital visitors at Cromer.

Sixty seagulls are strung close to the ceiling of the airy glass-fronted Atrium entrance.

They are the creation of north Norfolk artist Kate Munro, who has worked with numerous groups and organisations including educational ones and museums.

Her love of the natural world is an underlying theme in most of her work as demonstrated by her sculpture, called Sea Air.

Ms Munro said the brief was to create something with local relevance and it had to be seagulls.

Some of the polycarbonate blue and white birds are also painted with sky and cloud images.

They are suspended about 10m in the air, and it took five nights to install them, said Ms Munro, a 41-year-old mum of three from St Peters Road.
