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: Sakarmeke (sometimes with a colour ring), Sutavuðu, Yeşilbaş, Kuğu, Gri balýkçýl, Karabatak, Kuzey Gümüş Martı, Karasırtlı Martı. During winter months large flocks of Karabağ martı are gathering here. Büyük tarakdiş, Mandarin Ördeği, Küçük gümüþ martý and others can often be seen.
The lawn is often busy with Kanada Kazı. In summer they often form big kindergarden groups of many goslings. Akyanaklý kaz 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 Karatavuk, Saka and other birds are often seen bathing. There are also several bird-feeders along the route that attract Büyük baþtankara, Mavi Baştankara, Sıvacı, Çam baştankarası, Kızılgerdan, Dağ Bülbülü, Saksağan and others.
The paths g othrough a landscape planted with a variety of trees and shrubs where one can find Alakarga, Florya, Gökçe güvercin, Orman tırmaşıkkuşu and even a Kukumav. In winter the park is visited by Tarla ardıcı, Kızıl ardıç and in some years by Kocabaş.
