As opportunistic as ever one of our teams spied some muir burning in Northumbria at sunset whilst returning to base and stopped to capture it.
To keep the heather moor in a good state of health, it is deliberately burned in a controlled fashion. In the same way that healthy biodiversity depends upon having a healthy diversity of habitats (such as woodland, beaches, moors, marshes etc), a healthy diversity is also needed within each of those habitats themselves.
