Beeley Moor fire 'wiped out nests'

Rangers from Derbyshire's Peak District National Park Authority say the nests and chicks of many wild birds have been wiped out by a moorland fire.

Crews from Derbyshire Fire and Rescue Service were called to Beeley Moor at about 21:00 BST on Saturday where a 150m-wide stretch of heathland was on fire.

It took crews about 12 hours to put out the blaze.

Andy Farmer from the authority said a discarded cigarette may have started the fire.
