Just a handful of years ago George took the decision to manage the 4,000 acres that he farms with a view to restoring grey partridge numbers in the hope that one day he might be able to enjoy a day or two each season shooting driven English partridges. At this year's Puurdey Awards for Game and Conservation he and his team at Great Lemhill were honoured with the Gold award, the highest accolade on offer, a testament to their dedication and passion for greys.

George also helps us to adjudicate on a suspect left-and-right claim, and describes what might be the most elaborate and carefully thought-out Desert Island Shooting in the history of the podcast.
