GAME BIRD OF THE YEAR

The 2017 Game Bird of the Year is Lindsay Woolgar from the Buckhurst Park Estate. “She can do everything, from looking after my working cocker to dogging in and running the gamecart,” said Earl de la Warr, the estate’s owner. The award was set up by Lady Scott, a trustee of the Gamekeepers’ Welfare Trust, to recognise the support women give to gamekeepers across the UK.
