The Field Apr-26

The Field Apr-26

"Conservation is front and centre in the April issue of The Field, in which we report from a Purdey Award-winning family shoot in Hertfordshire. Matthew Dennison explains why so many songbirds are no longer common or garden birds but reveals all is not lost and what we can do to help, while Graham Downing profiles one of the nation’s favourites: the nightingale.

Charles Rangeley-Wilson shines a light on the fierce debate raging over a cherished Dorset chalkstream and we’re also on the trail with the canine conservationists whose superb detection skills play a vital role in sniffing out everything from rare species to pollution.

Adrian Dangar spends a day with the Stowe Beagles as they celebrate the life of the late Frank Houghton Brown, a renowned huntsman and Master.

Remembrance, reflection and solace are what motivates many modern pilgrims to embark on journeys, discovers Rory Knight Bruce. Meanwhile, Sir Johnny Scott recounts the life of Izaak Walton, author of The Compleat Angler, a seminal fishing work that continues to inspire 400 years after its publication.

We mark 250 years since the birth of John Constable and JMW Turner: the artists who transformed our vision of the English landscape.

Former champion jockey Harry Cobden takes some time out of his busy racing schedule to talk to Lucy Higginson about his sporting ambitions and passions, which include not just racing but hunting and shooting.

There’s much to tempt in this issue: from the best-loved British buns, recipes for the best picnic fodder and our Field Junior page dedicated to the young entry.

  • Loading...THE SHOOTING WORLD

    THE SHOOTING WORLD

    Since 1853, The Field has fashioned the British style of shooting so admired across the world. We review the finest side-by-sides and over-and-unders made here and abroad and our unrivalled access to the best sporting estates takes you into the heart of the action, be it tramping over red bogs after snipe, standing in the butts of exclusive grouse moors or standing at the pegs of classic pheasant shoots. If you want to know where to shoot or what kit to buy, we have it all in our pages.

  • Loading...OUR FOUR-LEGGED FAMILY

    OUR FOUR-LEGGED FAMILY

    Retrievers, peg dogs or pickers-up, terriers and hounds: The Field's life is incomplete without the companionship of working dogs, be they a labrador fetching your bird, hounds in full cry or the dreadful Jack Russell that's finished ratting and is now ruining your carpet. Our monthly sporting dog column keeps readers updated on the working dog world and regular features cover everything from training tips to best of breeds, hound shows and shooting over pointers.

  • Loading...THE REAL COUNTRY LIFE

    THE REAL COUNTRY LIFE

    The Field has always prided itself on encompassing all of country life within its pages, from shooting to fishing, hunting and stalking. We are dedicated to bringing the quirky richness of muddy-booted rural life to our readers, from wild food and the best recipes for country kitchens to buying vintage claret, coats that don't leak and making our countryside thrive for wildlife.
