You Know Its February When........the Air Is Full Of Smoke!


Recommended Posts

Kids on half term and the local keeper said they could come up and help with some burning.

 

Once up on the tops, it was obvious that the keepers from all the neighbouring moors, were all doing the same, plumes of smoke everywhere. Not only that but the whole of the horizon was covered in a thick layer of smoke from much further afield, and probably the moors of N yorkshire.

 

Really good for the kids to get involved, and they both loved it!

No only very short burns, don't see anything come out, and never seen grass or adders. Fire is the great reviver and it brings the moor to life and keeps it fresh.

The pipets are back the curlews will be here in the next week or two....... And then shortly after, the midges !!
