| She also carried on her research, collecting caterpillars on the Frisian heaths and moors and making notes and drawings. |
|
| Butterwort is a relatively inconspicuous plant, which makes its home on wet heaths, bogs and mountain ledges. |
|
| The garden designer Gertrude Jekyll was a great fan and favoured naturalistic planting companions such as heaths Erica and rock roses Cistus. |
|
| After the logging and fires, resilient plants like fire cherry, bracken fern, and the heaths had reclaimed much of this broken landscape. |
|
| Have you ever investigated all the available varieties of heaths and heathers? |
|
| But if you prefer your color non-prickly, then take a look at some of the winter flowering heaths. |
|
| In a couple of years my winter blooming heaths will be big enough that I will be able to use those in the wreaths as well. |
|
| If snows aren't too deep, the best and most vibrant source of winter color comes from the family of heaths and heathers. |
|
| Hardiest and most readily available of the winter-blooming heaths are varieties of Erica carnea. |
|
| The golden plover breeds in short vegetation on upland heaths and peat bogs and adults also travel each day to feed on nearby pastures. |
|
| Until the end of the 18th century, Great Bustards were widely distributed in England on open chalk downland, grassy heaths and agricultural land. |
|
| This species inhabits both the open heaths and the woodland borders and often takes advantage of patches of heath that have recently been burnt. |
|
| There is a good display of common primrose on cliffsides and stream banks and of blue spring squill in coastal heaths at Corbiegoe, Dwarick, Dunnet and Duncansby Head. |
|
| Much of the countryside is accessible too, with hundreds of long-distance paths and shorter, waymarked routes to help you discover woodlands, heaths, hills and moors. |
|
| And what of the heaths themselves, surely the main pull for both areas? |
|
| Other animals and plants such as the mole cricket and marsh gentian, which are suited to wetter heaths, may suffer as their habitat dries out in the summer. |
|
| The open moors and heaths were another source for other varieties of plants, especially berries, as well as providing areas for sheep and goat grazing. |
|
| Moors and heaths would have supported populations of wild horses and cattle, hares, wild goats and smaller creatures like voles, snakes and lizards. |
|
| A southward depression of the treeline in favour of wet heaths, bogs and wetland tundra communities is also observed in northern oceanic environments. |
|
| Apart from the sandy heaths of the Landes, to the south of the Gironde, it was a fertile region whose warm, damp climate favoured great agricultural diversity. |
|
|
|
| Even during winter some of the heaths provide a welcome splash of colour. |
|
| She worked on terraces around the main house and created an indigenous garden above the house, with aloes and proteas, Cape heaths and indigenous trees. |
|
| The main reasons for its decline are the clearance of heaths, drainage of winter-wet grasslands, loss of pastures to arable fields, and decline of grazing on commons. |
|
| Due to the impermeable nature of the rock, blanket bogs and mires form, and drier areas have wet and dry heaths and acid grasslands. |
|
| Depending on the breed, cattle can survive on hill grazing, heaths, marshes, moors and semidesert. |
|
| Pheasants are well adapted to the British climate and breed naturally in the wild without human supervision in copses, heaths, and commons. |
|
| This ultramafic rock also forms a very infertile soil which covers the flat and marshy heaths of the interior of the peninsula. |
|
| The eastern British moorlands are similar to heaths but are differentiated by having a covering of peat. |
|
| Some evidence suggests eutrophic rainwater can convert ericoid heaths with species such as Erica tetralix to grasslands. |
|
| Woodlarks breed on heaths and cleared forests, expanding their range thanks to milder winters, so this year's movement indicates a difficult time for birds. |
|
| Jutland's terrain is relatively flat, with open lands, heaths, plains and peat bogs in the west and a more elevated and slightly hilly terrain in the east. |
|
| Let the sighs of Fiona rise on the dark heaths of her lovely Ardan. |
|
| Dark-green fritillaries, skippers and silver studded blue are showing very well on the Great Orme in Llandudno, with various hairstreaks and heaths reported from other sites. |
|
| Flint axes have also been found on river terraces at Farnham, on Walton and Banstead Heaths and on the crest of the escarpment above Folkestone. |
|
| The Exmoor Coastal Heaths have been recognised as a Site of Special Scientific Interest due to the diversity of plant species present. |
|
| To the north are the Dorset Heaths and to the west, the Weymouth Lowlands. |
