Original coloured pencil drawing of a Grey Partridge in the snow.
This original drawing is the perfect gift for bird watchers, bird ringers, ornithologists, and fans of the natural world and British wildlife.
Grey Partridges serve as barometers of the countryside in the UK. They are sensative to change, so we can assume that high density means good habitat. For these birds, this means hedgerows, grassy edges, and field margins, beetle banks and low use of pesticides.
Where Grey Partridge thrive, other farmland species do too.
Sadly, they are on the decline. From 1967 to 2023 we've seen a -92% drop in breeding populations in the UK. This has been mainly caused by the loss of insect food sources, seed sources and nesting habitat on farmland.
