Three main analyses used to explore whether death or disappearance of satellite-tracked hen harriers were associated with grouse moor habitat. Sample size of fixes used per analysis are described, where (n) includes fixes from all harriers and (N) is the sample size for repeat analyses using only suspected (SIM) and known (I) illegal mortalities
