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 koltrast, steglits and other birds are often seen bathing. There are also several bird-feeders along the route that attract talgoxe, blåmes, Nötväcka, svartmes, rödhake, järnsparv, Skata and others.
