Black grouse leks in the Forest of Clunie, 2002-2011

The Forest of Clunie is made up of five moorland areas in north-east Perthshire, and is designated SPA and SSSI for its variety of upland breeding birds. It is nationally important for black grouse. SNH operate a moorland habitat management grant scheme in the area. All farms and estates within the SSSI are included, in addition to those with suitable habitat, outwith but adjacent to the SSSI. This dataset contains records of lekking males from within the management area. There is some overlap between records in this dataset, and records collected by the Perthshire Black Grouse Study Group (GA000760). The Forest of Clunie surveys were funded by Scottish Natural Heritage (SNH).
