Day One 20/02/2018
2.58pm
I have just arrived at the park. The wind is calm and there are few people in sight.
3.31pm
So far, 8 people have passed me at my observation site on the bench in the south car park.
6 of them have been dog walkers and the remaining two were a pair of female runners. The runners looked worn out. Aged approximately 40-45 years. Four of the dogs were off leash suggesting that some dogs may not be trusted to interact with the other inhabitants of the park- the pond dwellers. Ducks and swans have also been sighted. There are many more ducks than swans. The birds do not seem to fear people as they wander around the banks and come near to the parked cars and benches.
4.03pm
One cyclist has passed me since the last update. He looked enabled and powerful as he rode his bike. Two more dog walkers have also strolled past. Both are kept on leashes.
