The work that's gone into protection has met so many hurdles with persecution.

Sometimes people are just way too involved in reshaping nature and trying to undo what was created for our enjoyment.

Grouse shooting happens in many of the places where hen harriers go to breed and this is one of the issues they face. Part of their diet is grouse chicks, which reduces the amount of grouse available to shoot during the shooting season from 12th August. So hen harriers and other raptors have faced years of persecution through illegal trapping, shooting and poisoning. Last year we had just 3 breeding pairs in England when the uplands could support over 300 breeding pairs.
