Grey partridge recovery in East Anglia: Conservation in action
Among the fields and hedgerows of East Anglia there’s hope of a recovery for the red-listed grey partridge, with shooting playing a pivotal role, reports Ryan Darby.
How do I do that?
What can I collect?
We recommend that you take part in the GWCT’s partridge count scheme – one of the UK’s longest running citizen science programmes. Counts in the spring and autumn provide you with an insight into how your partridge have overwintered and how successful their breeding season has been. By sharing this information with the GWCT, you contribute to the national picture of how the species is faring and demonstrates the vital role shooting plays in its recovery.
