Two Drosera in habitat videos

[Kinabalufan]

At the end of last month I visited some Fiordland mountains in the South Island, New Zealand and made 2 short videos of the sundews growing there and the environment in which they grow.
Hope you enjoy. Its autumn here and as of two days ago the plants will probably have had there first snow. Im looking forward to going back in the summer to see them in there full glory and in flower.

Hi Thanks for the comments
Both videos were taken within 2 hours of my car, just a short walk really. I had to cross a river for the stenopetala one but usually that creek is bone dry. I was really worried about falling over and getting my camera wet but I managed to avoid that.
There had been big floods the week before with the road closed in a couple of places. It was all clear the following weekend when I drove down.
