Ah! You won't find much of it in the boggy areas, but you will see it on the mountain side. In fact, if you see the side of a mountain on fire in the summer time in Ireland, it's because the farmers are burning off the gorse and heather. During the nesting period this is illegal, but they do it anyway because it's really hard to secure a prosecution. :(

Yes, I heard it often doesn't go that well and sets more on fire than planned ;)
