Capercaillie national surveys

Royal Society for the Protection of Birds

Description

This dataset contains the first to fourth surveys of Capercaillie <i>Tetrao urogallus</i> in Britain, carried out under the Statutory Conservation Agencies/RSPB Annual Breeding Birds Scheme (SCARABBS).

Geographic Description

Capercaillie distribution in Britain is restricted to Scotland where it is closely associated with Scots Pine <i>Pinus sylvestris</i> and Blaeberry <i>Vaccinium myrtilus</i>. Therefore the national survey was concentrated in Scotland. <br /><br />

All records in this dataset are collated with summary 100m grid references.

Data quality

Data have been thoroughly checked for geographical and other errors. Please see the additional information sources for a detailed discussion of the survey methodology.

Methods

Methods for each survey are different, though allowing comparability between surveys. See survey metadata for further details on methods of data capture.

Citation

Please acknowledge the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds, Scottish Natural Heritage and SCARABBS (Statutory Conservation Agencies and RSPB Breeding Birds Scheme) in any use of the data.
