Description
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 Pic épeiche, Grimpereau des bois, Sittelle torchepot, six species of tits and a varied assortment of finches — including Pinson des arbres, Verdier d'Europe, Gros-bec casse-noyaux and Chardonneret élégant. In the summer Fauvette à tête noire, Pouillot véloce and Pouillot fitis are abundant, and often large flocks of Hirondelle de fenêtre and lesser numbers of Hirondelle rustique around the Abbey buildings. In the winter small flocks of Tarin des aulnes and Sizerin cabaret are to be seen in the wooded areas. Harle bièvre often occur on the lake in winter. Other waterfowl: Fuligule milouin, Fuligule morillon, Oie cendrée and Bernache du Canada and Cygne tuberculé.
