Gamekeeper, Charlie Woof, lights the dry heather moorland for burning, Bransdale shooting estate, North York Moors, UK. Heather is burnt to regenerate it - the more patches there are on a moor the better it is, producing more habitat for the grouse, and that has a knock on effect for the wader population.
