Can you spot the group of 4 hares? Clue - They are in the mid left side of the picture

 

 

This one lay very tight, even though the flames were licking all around about him. Wish I had a dog with me today!

Aye we took the argo most of the way up but we did burn one side of the hill and then we walked to the top and burnt the top downwards into the valley when the wind changed, but when your beating the fire out, you dont notice the ground your covering cos you get that engrossed in what your doing the time flies by

You didn't have to pay for polish workers to burn that lot. You should have sent down to us, for some of the little p*cks that do that to the hillsides in south wales for fun. We'd gladly send some up.

Its being burned to regenerate the heather allowing young new shoots to sprout which the grouse then feed on

Why does the heather have to be burnt ???

[alimac 882]

to encourage young heather shoots, and to allow grouse chicks to dry off in wet weather
