Newt

[Babs]

I have a pond full of newts, here is one of them

[Chocky]

Very nice. I used to have them in my ponds when we had the family house,
Mind out if you have Crested newts It's against the law to touch them

[Babs]

I should be so lucky to have crested newts in my pond

I think the name for my newts are smooth newts

[Chocky]

Yes but you may find them they can be in any pond.
Newts come and go every day did you know that ? I watched a very interesting prog' on them once and no two newts have the same patterning their under sides

Photos 3 and 4 look like a male smooth, not quite sure about 1 and 2 but they look male.
