Description
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. Pic vert, Pic épeichette, Pic épeiche, Bécasse des bois, Chouette hulotte, Geai des chênes, Pigeon colombin, Coucou gris, Sittelle torchepot, Mésange nonnette, Grimpereau des bois and Roitelet huppé can all be found in the woodland. The more open areas have Pipit des arbres, Rougequeue à front blanc and Gobemouche gris in spring and summer. Engoulevent d'Europe and Alouette lulu live on the heaths of Budby reserve to the north of Sherwood Forest (described on Birdingplaces in separate entry).
