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: Liska (sometimes with a colour ring), Mlakuša, Divlja Patka, Crvenokljuni Labud, Siva Čaplja, Veliki Vranac, Galeb Klaukavac, Mali tamnoleđi galeb. During winter months large flocks of Riječni Galeb are gathering here. Veliki ronac, Mandarinska patka, Burni Galeb and others can often be seen.
The lawn is often busy with Kanadska guska. In summer they often form big kindergarden groups of many goslings. Sjevernomorska guska 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 Kos, Češljugar and other birds are often seen bathing. There are also several bird-feeders along the route that attract Velika Sjenica, Plavetna Sjenica, Brgljez, Jelova sjenica, Crvendać, Sivi Popić, Svraka and others.
The paths g othrough a landscape planted with a variety of trees and shrubs where one can find Šojka, Zelendur, Golub Dupljaš, Kratkokljuni puzavac and even a Sivi Ćuk. In winter the park is visited by Drozd Bravenjak, Mali Drozd and in some years by Batokljun.
