Recordist's notes

Slightly less cold but not so much different from the day before. More adults exercising or walking with a friend. No planes and still few birds singing, except wood pigeons and a nuthatch. One women 'omms' softly while during her slow yoga movements. 50 meters away 3 teenage girls sit together on a bench. I watch as a police car stops and 3 officers walk across the grass to speak to them. Identity cards are checked. Verbal authority is applied and one of the girls gets up to move to a more distant seat. It's first time I've seen the coronavirus rules being enforced. Noticeable that when the police return to their car they do not keep 1.5m from each other!
