It must be tough being a Ring Ouzel trying to establish a territory when your nesting site is on fire...
Pretty shocking amounts of #Muirburn in Glean Beag just S of Glenshee, Perthshire this pm. Ring Ouzels are back & the hillside is literally burning away, utterly appalling

Muirburn yesterday. Smoke billowing up from the NE side of Carn na Loine and a burn on the Dava Moor. #muirburn #scottishhighlands

Burning above #Lealholm this afternoon. #NorthYorkMoors #NYM #NationalPark? #moorburn #muirburn #grousemoor

There’s a distinct scent of burning heather today in #Whitby. Meanwhile wood-burners are bad for our health we are told. #MoorBurn #muirburn #NorthYorkMoors #woodburningstoves

The Scottish Government are consulting on proposals relating to: introducing a licensing scheme for grouse shooting; increased regulation for muirburn (the burning of vegetation to maintain moorland); banning the use of glue traps; and increased regulation of other wildlife traps.

Consultation closes tomorrow (14th Dec). Please take 10 mins to submit your views...
