Whilst the heather is brown and looks dead through the winter, and sphagnum moss in pools is variously yellowish-green to red, the cushions of clubmosses remain bright green, extracting every last photon from the winter light. This patch would have been covered in snow until a day or two ago, but a warm westerly airflow has brought thaw, rain and a very gusty wind, but these primitive low-growing plants cope with it all. In the distance, the heather moor continues beyond Blackton Head, with the shoulder of Grey Carrs to the right ( [[[1695884]]] ).
