Recordist's notes

2 days after the Covid-19 restriction have banned meetings of more than 2 people, except families living together. Gone are the large groups of teenagers and 20 somethings socializing. Now it's single people huddled against the wind or mum/dad kicking a football with a young son (no daughters to be seen). But maybe this is partly because it's so cold. Birds are singing less than a few days ago. And during recording no planes flew overhead (the park is directly below the Tegel flight path and normally one passes every 3 or 4 minutes).
