Black grouse (Tetrao tetrix) National Surveys (Welsh data)
The male black grouse (Tetrao tetrix) population in Britain was surveyed in 1995/96 and 2005, in order to estimate population size. The surveys were based on counts of males displaying in the spring. In Wales and Staffordshire, the entire known population was surveyed in 1995. In northern England and Scotland in 1995/96 and 2005, and in Wales in 2005, a stratified random sample of 5 km squares from the breeding range was surveyed. As such the dataset covers around 10% of the UK population overall and does NOT contain all black grouse leks in Britain in the survey years; its aim was to produce a reliable population estimate. Please note that, apart from the 1995 Welsh data, the dataset does NOT contain all leks of black grouse, because only a random subsample of the breeding range was surveyed. Data have been thoroughly checked for geographical and other errors.

The survey covered the complete breeding range in Wales and Staffordshire in 1995, and random stratified 5 km squares selected from the breeding range in northern England and Scotland in both 1995/96 and 2005, and in Wales in 2005. In survey squares, surveyors walked within 500 m of all suitable habitat and counted any displaying males at dawn. Often local knowledge from landowners was used to locate leks. At least one count was made of each lek, within one hour either side of dawn, and if possible in clear, still weather. Display sites were marked on a 1:25 000 map. Single displaying males, and groups of displaying males (leks), recorded more than 500 m, and 200 m apart, respectively, on the same or different visits, were considered as separate display sites. When leks were counted more than once, the peak count was used. Numbers of females observed have been included in the comments field, but these do not represent a population figure due to the usually fleeting and irregular nature of female visits to leks.
