New move to save endangered game bird in southern Scotland It has been described as the fastest declining bird in the UK. The Black Grouse, are in decline across many parts of the UK, and are now on the International Union for Conservation of Nature s Red List of threatened species. A study last year of 121 black grouse breeding sites by the Game and Wildlife Conservation Trust found the population had declined to the point where the species is a high conservation concern and action was needed to halt their decline.
