This is the life, how could I ever regret changing career in 2012, from I.T. manager to ecologist? NVC surveys of blanket bogs are just the best job in the world, what a habitat, what scenery!
This is the bog, a blanket bog, M19 Calluna vulgaris - Eriophorum vaginatum blanket bog to be precise. This is one of my favourite habitats, and this one is home to hen harriers, black grouse and golden eagles.
I could spend all day alongside these bog pools.

Sphagnum capillifolium, the commonest of the red sphagnums.

Vaccinium vitis-idaea, cowberry.
