Recordist's notes

People obviously enjoy this green square, particularly on a lovely sunny day. Many gather to pass the time and kids play on swings or kick a football. There are birds too, starlings socialise, sparrows chatter, a blackbird occasionally sings. It's a very pleasant place to be. The plants are interesting to see, exotics mixed in with local species and all gone slight wild. Trees provide welcoming shade.
