GWCT launches whistle to save grey partridges

GWCT launches whistle to save grey partridges

Much louder than a gun dog whistle, it can be heard through hearing protectors.

The Game & Wildlife Conservation Trust has certainly hit the right festive note in its bid to save the wild grey partridge!

It has come up with the ideal gift for those shooting over the festive period - a wild grey partridge warning whistle, to help prevent greys from being shot accidentally during a redleg drive.

It’s the perfect present and the Trust says that every beater and flanker should be given one, as a ‘thank you’ gift for working on a local shoot.

The warning whistle has a really loud and distinctive sound, ideal for warning Guns of approaching grey partridges.

Much louder than a dog whistle, it’s audible even through hearing protectors.

The whistle is £2.60 and, together with a huge range of unusual Christmas gifts and cards, can be ordered from the Trust’s online shop at www.gctshop.org.uk www.gct.org.uk or telephone 0844 557 9630.
