Re: Crested newt habitat

Hi Duncan,
I think that might have been done. Just after I took the photo I encountered a lady walking round the edge and found she was looking for newts, having been told by a very active local naturalist that there were crested newts present. The only other time I have seen anyone at the pond was a few years ago when I met a local man with his daughter. He proudly told me he had released two koi carp into it!! I have not seen evidence of fish, and the newts are still there, so hopefully the carp have perished.
