Hi Andy, you must be getting the last of the flowering heather, it's now getting very patchy, mixed in with the controlled burns from last year or earlier this year. They are certainly keeping their heads down at present. Try to see if you can get some more detail in the eye comb, you might find easing off the saturation reduces the choking.
