UK - Rural life - North York Moors - Heather burning

A gamekeeper on the Bransdale estate uses a beater to put out the fire after heather burning on the North York Moors, Bransdale, North Yorkshire, UK. Heather is burnt to regenerate it, the more patches there are on the moor the better it is, producing more habitat for the grouse, and that has a knock on effect for the wader population as well.
