Spring has arrived Buxton Heath. There are more green color now. Since all the conservation work for the year has been finished, we simply walked around to see the plants, insects, etc. We also made cages for protecting some delicate young plants of rare species. Unfortunately to me they were just a few green leaves. Therefore ignorant people like me and animals like rabbits may tread on them if they are not protected.

Buxton Heath is now much much less boggy than before, and therefore much much safer to walk on the mire. However I am always the only person among the group who is so scared of stepping into the mire - a mire-phobia symdrome which is incurable for me!! Fortunately I was safe through this time again!! Thank god!

 I dont like reptiles and insects. But the warden is the absolute opposite and most of the people in the group like these creatures as well. When the warden showed me the snowworm, wasp or other insects, he would like to say “it is lovely”, but I usually took a look of the creature and said “oh, ugly!” We have put some tin plates in the area to attract lizards, snakes, etc. Snakes look particularly horrible to me. This time we found some grass snakes but fortunately they were not big so less horrible.
