Any areas with either, or both, of these vegetation types present. ‘Heather’ refers to any of the heath species such as Bell Heather, Ling and Cross-leaved Heath ( Erica and Calluna species); ‘Bilberry’ refers to any of the small shrubs such as Cranberry, Cowberry or Bilberry ( Vaccinium species). Any areas of Bracken, often growing through grazing, upland and young woodland areas. May not be visible early in season but will be picked up by later visits. \r \f \n\t\b Herbage such as Cow Parsley, Hogweed, Docks or tall stalks projecting above sward. Occasionally dominant though usually interspersed within the grass sward. \r \b Grassland that may be grazed, mown or prepared for recreational use. May be uniform or uneven – see below. \b\r Typically ‘improved’ grassland that can be short (mown or grazed pasture) or tall (grown for hay or silage) but with apparently uniform sward of even height and/or composition bright green. \r Typically ‘unimproved’ grassland or rough grazing pasture. Uneven sward in terms of height (tussocks present) and/or uneven composition (live and dead patches of grass, often other tall vegetation). Ground uneven and grass typically patchy green and grey. Includes uneven sheep-grazed pasture with scattered thistles, herb-rich dune slacks, close-cropped upland grass. \b Wet ushes, marshy areas with vegetation, such as rushes or lusher vegetation, by bogs, stream sides, ood meadows, salt marshes. €\b ‚ Usually presence of Rabbits and their burrows, whether active or not, but may be Foxes or Badgers. Including isolated ruined buildings. ƒ Protrusions of rock greater than 4sq. metres. Includes cli s and scree but not occasional scattered boulders. \b Such as Hawthorn, Juniper, Gorse, Elder, Hazel or Bramble.
