I thought I'd overwhelm everyone with newt photos today... I've become fascinated with them, and the way they lurk about the pond.
I'm starting to think there are more newts than tadpoles out in our pond, (fingers crossed a Great Crested one turns up- that would be interesting!) and so far there are certainly at least five, (two reddish ones, and three darker.
Photos two and three are of the same newt... and I'm not sure, but I think newt #5 was trying to catch that tadpole (it got away). Interesting the colour varieties. I'm not sure if they can change their skin colours like frogs, but so far the larger ones are always russet.
