Spain’s leading shoots In the UK there are no end of shoots to choose from for UK, European and US guests. In Spain there are far fewer shoots and five shine above the others each for a specific reason and each complimenting and contrasting with the other. It is like a Cartel! The Javiers, Antonio, Jesus and Pachi are all …
The reason I cannot reveal where this lek was is not to deter all those enthusiastic to see a lek but sadly those who would seek to damage what has been years of sustained hard work and investment. I can tell you that I was in County Durham but there are also blackcock in Scotland, the north of England and …
Enjoy watching this 3-minute video on South African guest Aldo Rech’s second visit to Ventosilla Palace shooting partridges with his wife Michelle. In the short piece he talks about why he feels at home at Ventosilla and why the single gun system of paying for his own birds works well for him. Partridge shooting at Ventosilla with Frontiers Travel in …
Once again I have been very lucky to be a guest shooting in Spain and have loved it. It is always great shooting and the food is too good, one just eats and eats. You can read my previous blogs about Spain here and here but this year I have two practical considerations to reflect on: The process of taking …
Once again I was honoured to be asked to be a judge for the 2016 Fieldsports Photographer of the Year Competition. The competition goes from strength to strength each year and I just hope that even more photographers enter next year.

Shooting operators do their very best to keep guns updated and in good shape but this is not always possible and they do have issues from time …
Travel – Travelling to Cordoba has never been easier. Passengers traveling from the USA via JFK, Atlanta, or Miami with Delta or Aerolineas Argentinas now have the option of connecting directly over Ezeiza International Airport. This eliminates the need to transfer to the domestic airport in downtown Buenos Aires. From the UK it is best to catch the British …
You might be wondering why this piece is necessary but having arrived internationally, catching a domestic flight to destinations like Cordoba, Bariloche, Calafate, or Mendoza has always required transferring to the domestic airport (Jorge Newberry) in the centre of town or even an overnight in Buenos Aires, a pleasure for some, sometimes considered a pain for others. But things have …
The first ever driven partridge drive to take place in Spain was at Ventosilla in 1884. It was my friend Antonio Cavero’s great-grandfather who organized this historical event and he, his son and now his great-grandsons (one of whom is Antonio) have been arranging partridge shooting at Ventosilla ever since. Today, Spanish partridge shooting has probably never been more popular …
