Outcome NR7

Birds of prey breed successfully in numbers which reflect habitat availability

Key research interests include, but are not limited to:

  • What is the habitat capacity for hen harrier and peregrine falcon in the North Pennines?
  • What is the potential for the use of the IUCN human-wildlife conflict guidelines in relation to raptors?
  • Continued satellite tagging of short-eared owl and hen harrier through NERF
  • Investigation into the potential for reintroduction of White-tailed (in Cumbria) and Golden eagle
