Descripción

Rufford Abbey Country Park is the estate and grounds of a former 12 century Cistercian Monastery and country house. One of the main country parks that make up the broader Sherwood Forest area. Rufford is about 150 acres in size and has both mature woodland and younger plantations, grassland, a lake and a cultivated garden area. There is a diverse range of trees in the park, including Silver Birch, Willow, Alder, Beech, Yew, Sycamore and Lime. Wildflower meadows have been added.

Birds to be seen here are typical of East Midlands deciduous woods like Pico Picapinos, Agateador Euroasiático, Trepador Azul, six species of tits and a varied assortment of finches — including Pinzón Vulgar, Verderón Común, Picogordo Común and Jilguero Europeo. In the summer Curruca Capirotada, Mosquitero Común and Mosquitero Musical are abundant, and often large flocks of Avión Común and lesser numbers of Golondrina Común around the Abbey buildings. In the winter small flocks of Jilguero Lúgano and Pardillo Alpino are to be seen in the wooded areas. Serreta Grande often occur on the lake in winter. Other waterfowl: Porrón Europeo, Porrón Moñudo, Ánsar común and Barnacla canadiense grande and Cisne Vulgar.
