The grey partridge was once common in the British countryside, but it has suffered a dramatic 94% decline since the 1980s. Grey partridges have been on the UK’s Red List since its inception in 1996. The bird is now essentially gone from Northern Ireland, the entire western coast of Britain, except in Anglesey, and continues to disappear locally throughout the rest of its former UK range. It is five to midnight for the grey partridge!
Your support is vital to our work to save the grey partridge. Your donations will allow our conservationists to provide advice on how best to manage and protect populations to farmers who cannot afford to pay for it themselves. GWCT members and supporters have helped enormously improve the plight of the grey partridge, but we now need your help again to keep this vital work going and spread it across the country.
