An unusually dry spring led to tinder dry conditions on moorland near Littleborough UK. A discarded cigarette set fire to the moor on the 25th of May. The flames were fanned by strong winds and destroyed over 300 acres of moorland. This upland habitat is home to many uncommon ground nesting birds including Curlew golden Plover and Twite. Many nests were destroyed. Global warming has caused many areas of the world to become drier and more likely to burn. This picture shows day old Meadow Pipit chicks killed by the fire
