Well, that should be easy, there's nothing out there but a bunch of farmland, not a soul for miles.
Thirty years ago, grey partridges were common, and earlier still they were among the most numerous birds in British farmland.
Many farmland birds such as partridges are suffering from a scarcity of insects with which to feed their young.
Vast stands of spruce, firs, pines and the western red cedar still exist on former farmland in Britain, but the new policy is to eradicate them slowly from areas of ancient woodland.
