Thanks Cath looks like it is the Erica - but I am not confident enough to confirm @HarleyB what do you think?

@MichaelMulvaney I would say that this is almost certainly E. lusitanica based on this photo. @cathb Did you remove this? If not I will go and remove it tomorrow and do a wider search in that area to see if there is any more.

Thanks Harley - I also just released that Cath removed some of these plants from this site back in July

I removed it this morning and had a look for more, but I will continue to monitor the area
