A newt?

Hello Wabbers

I think I have a small newt in my pond. A nice neighbour for the frogs. But I'm a little unsure if it is a newt. Unfortunately I have no pic as yet. I know the common newt is kinda browny in colour with dark blotches on. Mine is about 3 inches long, is light brown in colour and has a thin black line running down its back the full length of its body. It sits, and moves slowly just below the surface and will surface every 5 minutes or so for a bit of air. Is it a common newt? Or is it something different? Thanks for any info.

Scotty
