TALENTED local photographers have been showing off their skills in Crewe's Queens Park with these fantastic wildlife snaps.

Several photographers have put a particular focus on the abundance of wildlife in the park for a Facebook page dedicated to Crewe's 'Jewel in the Crown'.

Among the birds they have spotted are a barnacle goose, blue tit, coot and cormorant, goosander, great tit, greylag Goose, kingfisher, a little owl, mallard, mandarin duck, a moorhen, pigeon, robin, swan and woodpecker.

Other animal species include bees and butterflies, a damselfly, rates and water voles, field mouse, squirrel and even a mink!

If you are interested in wildlife photography then some worthwhile tips from the park's regular snappers are:

  • take your time
  • keep the camera steady
  • get lighting right
  • remember the rule of thirds (focal point along horizontal and vertical dividing lines in thirds)
  • do not be afraid to edit.

Queens Park was dedicated to the people of Crewe in July 1887 to mark the joint occasion of the Queen's Jubilee and the fiftieth anniversary of the opening of the Grand Junction Railway.

Officially opened in 1888, it was designed by Edward Kemp and the LNWR's chief mechanical Engineer, also the Mayor of Crewe, F W Webb.
