Its that time of the year again when the self proclaimed guardians of our countryside burn vast areas of heather to promote new growth to help artificially boost grouse numbers so big bags can be shot for profit. Never mind releasing large amounts of CO2 from both the burn and the burnt peat, the environmental impact is of no consequence in the strive for profit not forgetting the impact on the local populations health from ingesting the smoke and fumes. The RSPB is asking those who come across these burns to submit information and photographs but this should be done discretely, I was on a public road taking photos last week and was confronted very aggressively by the head gamekeeper of the estate.
