I'm writing today about a cause that is close to our hearts at the Game & Wildlife Conservation Trust. The grey partridge, not only our emblem but also a vital biodiversity indicator species, is in urgent need of help. gwct.org.uk/blogs/news/202…

#FarmWildlife_spotlight_species 40: Grey Partridge. The first sightings of Grey Partridge broods are often in late June or early July. Habitats that provide the chicks with abundant insect food and protection from predation are essential for their long-term survival🧵
