Some of the rare hen harrier chicks have fledged in Yorkshire
, but became exceptionally rare breeding birds in England after 1830 because of persecution.
“Despite this year’s success, we clearly still have a long road to travel to see hen harrier numbers truly recover to where they would naturally be without illegal persecution – with many birds sadly still going missing. After another low in 2016, when just eight chicks fledged, there have now been six successive years of increases, with 49 nests recorded in 2022, of which 34 were successful in producing chicks.
Brood management is part of the Government’s hen harrier action plan published in 2016, which also includes issuing licences to allow people to provide additional food for hen harriers to stop them targeting grouse, and satellite tracking of the birds.
