Now
this
is
their
home
and
underneath
this
there's
a
whole
network
of
tunnels
that
they've
made
it
keeps
them
warm
or
cool
and
dry
hello,
little
ladybird.
How
many
spots
are
on
your
back
off.
You
go
scrambling
up
the
birch
tree.
Look
how
fast
your
legs
are.
Moving,
quick,
quick,
quick!
Are
you
in
a
hurry
somewhere.

Now
we're
actually
going
to
go
and
visit
a
different
heir
of
the
heathland
and
that's
the
wet
heath.
So
come
with
me
and
let's
see
how
different
it
looks,
can
you
see
the
reflection
of
the
trees
in
the
water?
It's
definitely
wet
around
here,
we're
having
to
walk
on
a
boardwalk
in
order
to
keep
our
feet
dry.

The
types
of
plants
that
like
the
wet
teeth,
are
different
too
so
lots
of
grasses
and
sedges
find
a
home
here
and
also
moss
and
some
really
clever
little
plants
called
the
sun
jew,
which
gets
all
its
nutrients
from
catching
insects
and
digesting
them.
Can
you
see
the
white
tuft
of
cotton
grass
here.
