This week: A Rich Man's Bird
The unobtrusive, speckled grouse is the most prestigious bird in the world. A good grouse moor in August is a very exclusive place. The first line of Grouse Shooting and Management runs: 'It would be idle to pretend that grouse driving is the sport of other than the rich'. To provide a party of seven guns with a week's good shooting may cost more than £1,000. Why does it cost so much? Who are the people that can afford this sort of luxury? What makes them feel that their money is well spent?
Report by Trevor Philpott.
