Bees in cherry blossom

London lockdown sound recorded by David Sillito.
"Huntingdon Road, East Finchley. I've walked along this road for 18 years.
"Last week I heard what sounded like some industrial machinery outside number 49, Huntingdon Road. After a minute or so I realised the sound was coming from above me.
"The tree was in full blossom and alive with bees. There was no traffic - and no people, suddenly we could hear the ambient sound of spring in East Finchley. Magical."
