Cairn Guish, Moray

Heather moor to the west of Ben Rinnes

Uploader's Comments

The heather in this area appears to be well managed for grouse. The section to the foreground of the picture is of medium height and offers cover for nests and young birds. To the rear is an area that has been burnt in recent years. Here the re-growth gives food for the birds. Beyond that again is a patchwork of areas in differing stages of re-growth. This suggests a managed programme of burning giving the birds both older heather for cover and young growth for food.
