Wayne Martin is wading through the feral pigeon guano to get to the birds who are causing it. He and buddy Matt are knocking down ferals in a barn with their catapults. We’re also at the first major Sporting clayshoot of the British season – James Marchington reports from the Essex Masters. And will we be shooting pheasants and partridges this Christmas? News correspondent Deborah Hadfield looks at the problems shoots are having sourcing birds. We are giving away Blaser rifle sticks priced at £280, David brings you the latest on the news stump and Charlie showcases the top hunting videos on YouTube in Hunting YouTube. It’s all in #FieldsportsBritain
