This square greeting card features a detailed illustration inspired by the wildlife of Britain’s heathland landscapes, one of the UK’s most distinctive open habitats. The artwork brings together a wide variety of plants, insects, birds, reptiles, and mammals that thrive among heather, gorse, and sandy soil.

The illustration includes species commonly associated with heathlands such as Heath Milkwort, Minotaur Beetle, Heath Bedstraw, Nightjar, Lousewort, Scotch Argus Butterfly, Tormentil, Natterjack Toad, Potter Wasp, Dartford Warbler, Dusky Cockroach, Great Crested Newt, Ladybird Spider, Ling Heather, Common Broom, Stoat (winter), Wild Gladiolus, Common Toad, Rabbit, Fly Agaric, Slow Worm, Small Copper Butterfly, Common Gorse, and Emperor Moth.

Heathlands support a specialised community of wildlife that depends on these open habitats for feeding, shelter, and breeding. From birds calling over purple heather to rare insects hidden among the plants, these landscapes are some of the most important and characterful ecosystems in Britain.
