Citation

Royal Society for the Protection of Birds (2025). Black grouse lek survey in Moray and Nairn 2009. Occurrence dataset https://doi.org/10.15468/ddpehg accessed via GBIF.org on 2025-06-20.

Description

The UK population of black grouse declined by 22% between the national surveys in 1995/6 and 2005. To establish core areas for recovery in the north of Scotland, black grouse strongholds have been surveyed for lekking males. These surveys attempted to fill in gaps left by previous, recent surveys.

Purpose

Sampling Description

Quality Control

These data have been gathered by trained field-workers and the data are of a high quality. These data have been mapped and checked for sensitivities and typographical/geographical errors

Method steps

  1. Methods were consistent with those used in the black grouse national surveys, hence this dataset is directly comparable with the national surveys

Taxonomic Coverages

Geographic Coverages

Moray and Nairn, North Scotland. Black grouse sightings are reported at 100m resolution
