| Re: What newt?
They are Palmate Newts. I've now got dozens of them in my pond,males seem to outnumber females about 5 to 1 at the moment.
Was watching them yesterday and the females were eating individual eggs of the frogspawn,but theres so much frogspawn that it wont do any real damage.Be interesting to see if they start snaffling up the tadpoles when they "hatch".
Last Spring there was a lot of overwintered newt taddies in the pond,this year hav'nt seen any ?.
No two years are the same. |
