Descripción
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: Focha Común (sometimes with a colour ring), Gallineta Común, Ánade azulón, Cisne Vulgar, Garza Real, Cormorán Grande, Gaviota argéntea europea, Gaviota sombría. During winter months large flocks of Gaviota Reidora are gathering here. Serreta Grande, Pato Mandarín, Gaviota Cana and others can often be seen.
The lawn is often busy with Barnacla canadiense grande. In summer they often form big kindergarden groups of many goslings. Barnacla Cariblanca 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 Mirlo Común, Jilguero Europeo and other birds are often seen bathing. There are also several bird-feeders along the route that attract Carbonero Común, Herrerillo Común, Trepador Azul, Carbonero Garrapinos, Petirrojo Europeo, Acentor Común, Urraca común and others.
The paths g othrough a landscape planted with a variety of trees and shrubs where one can find Arrendajo Euroasiático, Verderón Común, Paloma Zurita, Agateador Euroasiático and even a Mochuelo Europeo. In winter the park is visited by Zorzal Real, Zorzal Alirrojo and in some years by Picogordo Común.
