  • The Impact of Wind Energy Facilities on Grouse: a Systematic Review
    Journal of Ornithology (2020) 161:1–15 https://doi.org/10.1007/s10336-019-01696-1 REVIEW The impact of wind energy facilities on grouse: a systematic review Joy Coppes1 · Veronika Braunisch1,2 · Kurt Bollmann3 · Ilse Storch4 · Pierre Mollet5 · Veronika Grünschachner‑Berger6,7 · Julia Taubmann1,4 · Rudi Suchant1 · Ursula Nopp‑Mayr8 Received: 17 January 2019 / Revised: 1 July 2019 / Accepted: 18 July 2019 / Published online: 1 August 2019 © Deutsche Ornithologen-Gesellschaft e.V. 2019 Abstract There is increasing concern about the impact of the current boom in wind energy facilities (WEF) and associated infra- structure on wildlife. However, the direct and indirect efects of these facilities on the mortality, occurrence and behaviour of rare and threatened species are poorly understood. We conducted a literature review to examine the potential impacts of WEF on grouse species. We studied whether grouse (1) collide with wind turbines, (2) show behavioural responses in relation to wind turbine developments, and (3) if there are documented efects of WEF on their population sizes or dynam- ics. Our review is based on 35 sources, including peer-reviewed articles as well as grey literature. Efects of wind turbine facilities on grouse have been studied for eight species. Five grouse species have been found to collide with wind turbines, in particular with the towers. Fifteen studies reported behavioural responses in relation to wind turbine facilities in grouse (seven species), including spatial avoidance, displacement of lekking or nesting sites, or the time invested in breeding vs. non-breeding behaviour. Grouse were afected at up to distances of 500 m by WEF infrastructure, with indications of efects also at bigger distances.

  • Driven Grouse Shooting
    Driven grouse shooting RSPB Council updated our previous policy on driven grouse shooting in October 2020. Our policy is to support licensing of driven grouse shooting across the UK, following expected progress on this issue in Scotland in 2020. Unless substantial progress (including effective licensing, stopping raptor killing, cessation of burning on peat soils, and banning use of lead ammunition) is made in reforming driven grouse shooting by 2025 in line with RSPB principles for sustainable gamebird shooting, we will consequently call on governments to introduce a specific ban on driven grouse shooting. Background Driven grouse shooting is defined as where shooters sit in lines of grouse butts on open moorland, and red grouse are then driven by beaters and dogs over the guns to shoot. The activity usually involves shooting large grouse “bags” (where large numbers of grouse are shot in a day). It is a unique hunting type to the UK (mainly England and Scotland) and shooters will pay large sums of money for a day’s shooting. Typically, gamekeepers are employed to kill predators that eat grouse; heather is burned to create young heather (the main foodplant of red grouse); and other additional management techniques are employed to produce as many red grouse as possible for shooting. The red grouse shooting season opens on the 12 August (“the Glorious Twelfth”). The alternative walked up grouse shooting involves a small number of shooters accompanied by dogs. They generally take small and sustainable numbers of grouse, as walked up shooting is more about the hunting experience. This is much less of a conservation issue for us.

  • Evaluation of a Density Index for Territorial Male Hazel Grouse Bonasa Bonasia in Spring and Autumn
    Ornis Fennica 68 :57-65. 1991 Evaluation of a density index for territorial male Hazel Grouse Bonasa bonasia in spring and autumn Jon E. Swenson Swenson, J. E., Department of Zoology, University of Alberta, Edmonton, Alberta T6G 2E9, Canada, and Swedish Environmental Protection Agency, Grimsö Wildlife Research Station, S-730 91 Riddarhyttan, Sweden (correspondence to Swedish address) . Received 14 September 1990, accepted 10 January 1991 A density index for territorial male Hazel Grouse Bonasa bonasia in spring and au- tumn is presented and evaluated. One whistles with a hunter's whistle every 30 seconds for 6 minutes from census points located at 150-m intervals within the area to be censused, and responding Hazel Grouse are counted. Counts were conducted throughout days with little or no wind. The number of counted males was significantly and linearly correlated with the number of known territorial males on an intensive study area. There, 82% of the territorial males responded and were counted. Response rate appeared to be independent of density, based on counts in areas with a 20-fold variation in densities. When censuses were repeated, both results were similar. Within the conditions of these counts, no effects of weather or date were found. However, Hazel Grouse responded less at midday. Using this method, one can count Hazel Grouse at a rate of about 5 minutes per ha along transects and 5-9 minutes per ha on blocks of habitat, depending on plot size. I recommend that censuses be conducted during 4-5 weeks prior to laying in spring and during 4-5 weeks after brood dissolution in autumn .

  • Update of the Situation of the Cantabrian Capercaillie Tetrao Urogallus Cantabricus: an Ongoing Decline Maria José Bañuelos & Mario Quevedo
    Grouse News 25 Newsletter of Grouse Specialist Group Update of the situation of the Cantabrian capercaillie Tetrao urogallus cantabricus: an ongoing decline Maria José Bañuelos & Mario Quevedo In a previous number of Grouse News (Bañuelos et al. 2004) we reported the drastic decline that Cantabrian capercaillie Tetrao urogallus cantabricus had apparently suffered in two decades, from the early 1980’s to 2000 - 2001. Based on extensive evaluation of lek occupancy, about 50% of the display areas had been deserted, and the number of remaining cocks was roughly estimated at 300. Accordingly, Cantabrian capercaillie was listed as endangered in Spain, and became the only subspecies of capercaillie qualifying as endangered according to IUCN criteria (Storch et al. 2006). This capercaillie population occupies a very southerly range for a tetraonid (Quevedo et al. 2006a), and has recently been identified as an evolutionary significant unit because of its unique ecological and genetic characteristics (Rodríguez- Muñoz et al. 2007). Between 2005 and 2007 a new extensive lek survey was performed in the northern watershed of the range (Asturias), over a territory that comprises more than 50% of the population. Almost all known display areas (N=364) were repeatedly surveyed during the lekking season (April-May). Surveys were performed during the day, looking for signs such as feathers, fresh droppings or footprints, so that results were mainly presence-absence data. Occupancy surveys during the day were mostly chosen over more traditional lek counts at dawn to minimize disturbances, but also because the previous survey (2000/2001) showed that less than 10% of the occupied sites had more than one cock.

Abstract This thesis presents data on factors determining the occurrence and dynamics of hazel grouse populations at several spatial scales in five landscapes with different management regimes. In a forested area with a low degree of habitat variation the relationship between occurrence of hazel grouse and type of habitat was best explained at scales equal or larger than the home range, compared to smaller spatial scales. At this spatial scale the hazel grouse preferred spruce stands 20-69 years old and those older than 90 years, having 5-40% deciduous trees. More specifically the presence of hazel grouse in a habitat patch was positively influenced by a high amcunt of vertical ground cover, rich field layer vegetation and the presence of alder. At the landscape scale the occurrence of hazel grouse in habitat patches in intensively managed landscapes was negatively affected by increasing distance between suitable habitats both in an agriculture-dominated landscape and in a forest-dominated landscape. The threshold distances for hazel grouse movements were about 200 m in the agricultural landscape and about 10 times longer in the forested landscape, suggesting a strong effect of different types of matrix.

    The Ornithological Society of the Middle East, the Caucasus and Central Asia (OSME) The OSME Region List of Bird Taxa, Part F: Simplified OSME Region List (SORL) version 5.1 August 2019. (Aligns with ORL 5.1 July 2019) The simplified OSME list of preferred English & scientific names of all taxa recorded in the OSME region derives from the formal OSME Region List (ORL); see www.osme.org. It is not a taxonomic authority, but is intended to be a useful quick reference. It may be helpful in preparing informal checklists or writing articles on birds of the region. The taxonomic sequence & the scientific names in the SORL largely follow the International Ornithological Congress (IOC) List at www.worldbirdnames.org. We have departed from this source when new research has revealed new understanding or when we have decided that other English names are more appropriate for the OSME Region. The English names in the SORL include many informal names as denoted thus '…' in the ORL. The SORL uses subspecific names where useful; eg where diagnosable populations appear to be approaching species status or are species whose subspecies might be elevated to full species (indicated by round brackets in scientific names); for now, we remain neutral on the precise status - species or subspecies - of such taxa. Future research may amend or contradict our presentation of the SORL; such changes will be incorporated in succeeding SORL versions. This checklist was devised and prepared by AbdulRahman al Sirhan, Steve Preddy and Mike Blair on behalf of OSME Council. Please address any queries to [email protected].
