Yay! Gotta Newt!

Paul Iddon

We don't see as many nowadays as we used to do, even this, the comon newt, but we have one in our pond for the second year of its life (last summer our frogspawn didn't survive, and the newt was accidentally introduced last summer when our daughter was fishing for tadpoles in the nearby big pond in the field to replace the lost spawn - I found it in the weeds we brought back to put the newly "borrowed" taddies cover in our pond).


We were just removing some old smelly leaves from the water when the newt re-appeared, so here it is.

Good set with the last shot being the strongest. I would have liked to have seen the whole newt in #2.

Thanks guys. These are as good as I managed really. The newt didn't want to be a poser!

Cool shots of an ampihibian we don't see too much.
