Description
Queen's Park is a public park in Crewe. There are several paths throughout the park, all well paved and suitable for wheelchair use. There are also lots of benches. The paths allow very close access to an artificial 4.5 acre lake (1) where you can see a large variety of waterfowl: Blishøne (sometimes with a colour ring), Rørhøne, Gråand, Knopsvane, Fiskehejre, Skarv, Sølvmåge, Sildemåge. During winter months large flocks of Hættemåge are gathering here. Stor Skallesluger, Mandarin-and, Stormmåge and others can often be seen.
The lawn is often busy with Canadagås. In summer they often form big kindergarden groups of many goslings. Bramgås can sometimes be seen with the other geese.
A shallow valley, known as the ‘Coronation Valley’ (2), runs north/south through the north-west quarter of the Park, with its small man-made stream where Solsort, Stillits and other birds are often seen bathing. There are also several bird-feeders along the route that attract Musvit, Blåmejse, Spætmejse, Sortmejse, Rødhals, Jernspurv, Husskade and others.
The paths g othrough a landscape planted with a variety of trees and shrubs where one can find Skovskade, Grønirisk, Huldue, Træløber and even a Kirkeugle. In winter the park is visited by Sjagger, Vindrossel and in some years by Kernebider.
