Partridge Shooting

Shavesgreen Driven Partridge Shooting Days

Partridge shooting has seen a resurgence in recent years with many estates adding these diverting little birds to their existing pheasant drives to provide fast and furious sport for the guns. The native English partridge can be seen in many parts of England thanks to conservation projects, these birds are rarely shot as the numbers are too few for the sustainable sport enjoyed during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries.

The vast majority of partridges reared and released in Britain are French red legged and these birds have a marked difference in both their colouration and flight patterns. Partridge shoots take place during September and October and provide some fantastic early season sport with days ranging from one to four hundred plus birds.
