Grey partridge award winner announced

Sir Kenneth Carlisle, owner of the Wyken Hall estate in Suffolk, has won the 2018 Castleacre Game & Wildlife Conservation Trust (GWCT) East Anglian Grey Partridge Conservation Award. The annual award is bestowed upon the landowner or farmer in the region that has done the most to help improve native grey partridge populations. Dr Roger Draycott, head of advisory services at GWCT, said: “It is great credit to Sir Kenneth that Wyken is one of the few areas that saw a growth in grey partridge numbers this year, after a couple of challenging years.”
