The ponds are full of Smooth Newts at the moment. Most of them seem to be female - perhaps the males arrive at the ponds later. The young ones are there all winter round but the adults usually disappear in the autumn.
Ooooh! I'm going to go out and look for newts tomorrow morning. Haven't seen one yet this year, but if they're about up North then we're bound to have some. It's about time I had a dip with the net...
You may have heard of Project 365 in whic people post a photograph every day for a year. This is my version – the idea is to post a photo taken every day but I am realistic enough to know that there will be a day or two missed during the year.

ReplyDeleteNot a newt in sight :-( Still, my search encouraged me to weed all around the pond so at least that's something.
