Beskrivning
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 större hackspett, trädkrypare, Nötväcka, six species of tits and a varied assortment of finches — including bofink, grönfink, stenknäck and steglits. In the summer svarthätta, gransångare and lövsångare are abundant, and often large flocks of hussvala and lesser numbers of ladusvala around the Abbey buildings. In the winter small flocks of grönsiska and brunsiska are to be seen in the wooded areas. storskrake often occur on the lake in winter. Other waterfowl: brunand, vigg, grågås and kanadagås and knölsvan.
