Padbury Hill Farm Shoot: conservation and community

Padbury Hill Farm near Buckingham is a small family-run shoot much like hundreds of others up and down the country – but this one is a bit special. It’s a shining example of how shooting benefits conservation and the local community, and has been shortlisted for a Purdey Award. We join owner Justin Farrington Smith on the first shoot day of the season, and meet a local man who has been invited to join the beaters to see what a shoot entails.
