Having had so many great guinea pig trips, you can forgive me my audacity when I planned an expedition to explore wildfowling a la francaise and invited a journalist to join me. RSS news feed Newsletter / Mailing list Contact us

When it comes to birds, we pride ourselves on offering the extremes. Our quail and woodcock packages in Croatia are no exception. If, as the dog days of summer roll around each year, you contemplate the sorry state of the British summer and rusty shooting skills in the face of the Glorious 12th and beyond, [...]
