  1. The big moorland fire at Harbottle, Northumberland, Easter weekend 2007. Started with a muirburn that hadn't been fully extinguished and spread across the Nature Reserve. I'm a big opponent of shooting managed moorland, but If whoever manages it is going to maintain dominant heather cover then they are going to have to burn or "strim" firebreaks, and rewet the once wet bits.. This stuff was an accident waiting to happen. #Moor #Northumberlad #Muirburn ##WildFire #Fire #Landscape

  2. #FensterFreitag through the fire appliance window last night. Extreme wild fire risk so of course the farmers are #burning and #overgrazing rare #TemperateRainforest / #AtlanticOakwood (not to mention allowing Rhododendron ponticum to run wild) #SFRS #muirburn

  3. Scottish Government consultation on wildlife management and muirburn: consult.gov.scot/environment-f

    Wildlife management just sounds like such an oxymoron 😵‍💫

    The ‘wildlife’ didn’t ask to be managed!

    But if this bill ends up meaning we collectively manage other species a little less – because *looks around* we’re not very good at being in charge – that will be a good thing
