Black grouse chicks hatch in North York Moors after nearly 200 years
Black grouse have hatched chicks in the North York Moors for the first time in roughly two centuries. The birds were relocated from the North Pennines in 2024 as part of a targeted conservation programme. The effort pairs habitat restoration with predator management to support the species' recovery. Observers have recorded a clear increase in displaying males at the site. Further translocations are planned to strengthen the population.
