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.
