capercaillie

1 The capercaillie is a native species that became extinct in Britain in the mid-18th Century.

2 The trust said Lynx could bring benefits to the ecology of the areas by controlling deer populations and helping to protect the ailing capercaillie.

3 Over the last 50 years, UK capercaillie numbers have fallen by more than 90%.

4 The woods are in the Cairngorms, the traditional stronghold for Scotland's capercaillie population Rare capercaillie have bred successfully for the first time in three years in woodland near Grantown-on-Spey.

5 Most capercaillie are found in the Cairngorms National Park.

6 The capercaillie, a huge, woodland grouse, became extinct in Scotland around 1785 but was reintroduced, using birds from Sweden, just over 50 years later.

7 He said an "exploding" pine martin population was having a negative impact of the capercaillie population, by eating the eggs of the bird.

8 Now, with the body of a western capercaillie as evidence, authorities in southwestern Germany are trying to determine what happened.

9 There are a number of possible reasons for the declines in capercaillie numbers.

10 They have pointed out that disturbing a lekking capercaillie is an offence.

11 To respect the life of the deer is to disrespect the life of the capercaillie, the crossbill, the goshawk, the wildcat, the red squirrel and the pine marten.

12 The capercaillie had long eluded him, Speck said.

13 The capercaillie is a native species that became extinct in Britain in the mid-18th century.

14 Cairngorms is the largest national park in the UK and home to 25% of all threatened and rare species, such as capercaillie and golden eagles.

15 They included further habitat loss, partly due to sheep and deer grazing on blaeberries, the juicy purple-blue fruit favoured by capercaillie.

16 Factors behind the decline include foxes, crows and pine martens eating eggs and young birds, disturbance by visitors to areas where capercaillie breed and also fatal collisions with deer fences.

17 "Bigger expanses of more connected forest are the most sustainable long term approach to securing the capercaillie's future, and much more needs to be done by all partners to help achieve this."

18 It is also hugely important to remember that in other countries, such as Sweden, capercaillie and pine marten live side by side, where predation occurs, and neither species is endangered.

19 This year capercaillie bred successfully for the first time in three years in woodland near Grantown-on-Spey.

20 When it was suggested deer fences were the problem for capercaillie, they were removed quickly.
