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: (Κοινή) Φαλαρίδα (sometimes with a colour ring), Αρκοπετείναρο, Πρασινοκέφαλη Πάπια, (Βουβός) Κύκνος, Σταχτοτσικνιάς, (Ευρωπαϊκός) Κορμοράνος, Ασημόγλαρος του Βορά, Μελανόγλαρος. During winter months large flocks of Καστανοκέφαλος Γλάρος are gathering here. Χηνοπρίστης, Mandarin Duck, Θυελλόγλαρος and others can often be seen.
The lawn is often busy with Canada Goose. In summer they often form big kindergarden groups of many goslings. Barnacle Goose can sometimes be seen with the other geese.
