Description

The Rosenstein Park in Stuttgart is the largest English garden in southwest Germany. The big park has many old trees, meadows and also landscaped ponds. Its many old trees attract many birds. Therefore, in contrast to city parks where only common birds can be seen, in the Rosenstein Park, some more special birds can be seen. Examples include Corcodel mic, Ciocănitoare de stejar, Ciuf de pădure, Muscar sur as well as Baden-Württemberg's largest breeding population of Porumbel de scorbură, and the Stăncuță, whose only breeding site in Stuttgart is the Rosenstein Park. Among the other birds you can see in the park are Lebădă de vară, Șorecar comun, Ghionoaie verde, Sticlete, Stârc cenușiu, Rață mare, Găinușă de baltă, Lișiță and Corb. Also an introduced population of Yellow-headed amazon (Amazona oratrix) can be found in the park (about 50 individuals). Also nice to know: because of the ban on hunting within the park it boasts the highest concentration of hares (Lepus europaeus) in Germany.
