Hen harriers tagged to better understand the threats they face

As a part of the RSPB’s Hen Harrier LIFE+ Project hen harriers have been electronically tagged enabling conservationists, and researchers to gain a better understanding of the threats these rarest and most threatened birds of prey face.

The tags transmit locations of the harriers on a regular basis, and members of the public along with scientists will be able to follow the movements of two individuals on a new website launched earlier this week. However, there will be a two week delay in the position information that will be available to the general public for security reasons.
