@TrooperSnooks @adriawildlife Strong evidence of predator control, and habitat management v Black Grouse survivability, carried out on our local population. A place that remains a mecca for birders to watch the leks. https://t.co/DHXI4aE55E
@RewildScotland @Malijohn80 And not just curlew either. Here's some for black grouse on Wales' only DGS moor (incidentally also a mecca for visiting birders). I'm less easy in throwing these species under the bus. https://t.co/DHXI4aE55E
@DrHWeb @Nikolaj_Bi @Jamesoneillii Fair point, though conservation effort shouldn't be viewed in isolation of purely direct or indirectly from shooting interests. There's a significant overlap and to view it so binary ignores much of the conservation gains
@ScarecrowNeste1 The attached showed that for Black Grouse the negative effect of decreasing climatic suitability was mitigated where main nest/chick predators were controlled - I'd at least test if the same would hold true of Caper & Pine Marten befor

@badgerwatcher1 @Gamekeeper10 @NaturalEngland You're missing the point. No-one claims predation is a primary driver, it is exacerbated and compounded as populations decline. Do you understand that concept? Try to understand this relatively straightforward
