Breeding conditions:
|
| Aerial surveys in late June of a sample stretch of drainages in the British Mountains, and a transect on the coastal plain were undertaken to quantify Gyrfalcon nesting density and occupation, as well as ptarmigan abundance. Of 25 Gyrfalcon aeries, 16 were occupied but only 8 productive (1.4 young per productive nest), thus both numbers of productive nests and nest productivity were low. Ptarmigan were at moderate to low densities.
