Recordist's notes
Crows have nested high in almost all the trees in Burgundenplatz. They talk and chatter to each other continuously giving a very distinctive sound and atmosphere to this place. Human life goes on as normal too, trams pass, traffic flows, people talk and kids play. One young crow, unable to fly, is on the ground 1 meter from me. Occasionally s/he squawks very loudly.
