Taking into account the experts’ opinion, this is a good breeding year for the red partridge. There are many factors that can affect red-legged partridge rearing, but this year all the positive factors have come together to result in a breeding year with good expectations for the hunting season.

There are several factors that can affect the breeding season of red partridges. Factors such as storms, mowing dates or the quality of sowing can affect the delay or early breeding season as well as its size. In this post, we will explain the three main factors that have contributed to this breeding year of such good expectations.

The low temperatures of the last weeks of May and the first weeks of June have delayed the laying of the red partridge, which has helped to bring all the favourable factors together over time.

Another factor that has helped this breeding year to be so prosperous is that the harvest has been very late, which means that the machines have not passed through the fields destroying the nests with eggs, nor the mothers who are protecting them after laying.

Finally, the last factor that has helped the breeding year to be so prosperous is that planting has remained green until almost mid-July, which not only benefited that planting was delayed, but also meant that the chicks had areas to protect themselves from predators and in turn had a lot of food.

Looking at this situation, we can say that not only has the breeding year been good, but the hunting season will be very good. If you want to enjoy the hunting season, visit us at El Crespo and we will be happy to make you live an unforgettable experience. For more information visit our website.
