The islands interior of sparsely populated heather-clad hills offers the ideal habitat for the harriers principal prey species.

This approach conceptualises the observed harrier population as one stochastic realisation of the population given the variability in survival and recruitment allowing us to make inferences about other similar harrier populations.

Teams of up to nine people with tracker dogs had searched sometimes for weeks for each of the 37 birds that went missing. The Forest of Bowland in rural Lancashire supports one of the largest populations of hen harriers in England. Habitat analysis suggests there is availability to sustain around 2650 pairs in the UK1 so we currently have around 20 of the number of pairs we could support.

In 2015 the first nest was found on the island with four located the following year. However from the mid-1970s to the early 1980s populations again declined dramatically. UK wintering is the number of individuals present from October to March.

Over the last two years 81 chicks have been raised to fledging outstripping the total for the previous five years combined the figures show. According to the IUCN Red List the global population size of the Hen harrier is around 100000 to 499999 mature individuals. The harrier-lovers conviction that grouse estates were behind their.
