Descripción
RSPB Sherwood Forest has been wooded for centuries, and was once part of a vast royal hunting ground. The forest is full of ancient oaks, including the legendary Major Oak, estimated to be around 1,000 years old. The forest is one of the best surviving examples of oak-birch woodland in the UK, make Sherwood a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) and a Special Area of Conservation (SAC) protected under European law. Pito Real, Pico Menor, Pico Picapinos, Chocha Perdiz, Cárabo Común, Arrendajo Euroasiático, Paloma Zurita, Cuco Común, Trepador Azul, Carbonero Palustre, Agateador Euroasiático and Reyezuelo Sencillo can all be found in the woodland. The more open areas have Bisbita Arbóreo, Colirrojo Real and Papamoscas Gris in spring and summer. Chotacabras Europeo and Alondra Totovía live on the heaths of Budby reserve to the north of Sherwood Forest (described on Birdingplaces in separate entry).
