Notes:
At least 23 newts visible, many more were likely under cover in the pond, all adults and many showing breeding activity. Due to the latter I tried to limit disturbance so did not pick up to ID but all apparent males had the palmate hind feet as shown in the photo and smooth newts are very rare in this location.
