Operation newt a success....

Always had a great interest in amphibians.
Many years ago had a huge garden with 3 ponds, all devoted to frogs, newts, etc.
So, new house, had to be done again......

There are smooths and loads of great crested about so hoping for a good spring!

Where did he come from? or is this some time later after the pond was finished?

That's great to see, I love newts... A real compliment to your garden especially with the little ones - thanks for putting those pics up.

I have an affinity for newts, swmbo compares me to one every weekend after the pub

Swmbo "pretending" to dig???? translates to did ALL the digging if my own experiences are anything to go by

Brilliant well done. It's nice to incourage wild life to settle in you gargen. I have just dug a shallow bog type thing for our kids to investigate. frogs have already moved in and with this weather the birds have taken to it too.
