A few snaps of the moors from my walk yesterday -

a) A bronze age mound/cairn at the high point of the moorland

b) A view across the moorland as it descends, with a few solitary spruces

c) One of countless small ponds and saturated peat bogs scattered around

d) an okay (relative to my usual standard) capture of a red grouse fleeing my disturbance. There are black and red grouse here. I only heard the cooing, bubbling of the black grouse but saw numerous red

A far off red grouse flaps across the view from right to left, camouflaged against the backdrop of red-brown heathers
3 isolated spruces, in a natural line from the foreground into the distance, springing from uninterrupted heather moorland. The hazy low sun is just above and partially silhouettes them, also casting a blue light on the distant rolling high hills
A low, wide mound, a heather covered bronze age stone mound, at the high point of the moors (511m elevation). There are numerous small cairns, mostly forgotten and lost deep jn heather, around this area and this central mound was assumed to be some sort of ritual centre point. A track, barely visible, winds towards the mound. Hazy partially clouded skies above
A boggy area of the moorland. Whatever doesn't have heather growing on it gets very swampy. A small bare tree marks an algae covered pond in the midfield
