| | | great crested newt with slow worms
Anyone seen this before?  I found this while doing a butterfly transect. It must be the first time in history that a great crested newt has been recorded on a butterfly transect!!!  Unusual though to see it curled up with slow worms - or is it???  |

Unusual set! I presume this collection of beasties were under some sort of cover? |

What an amazing find! I wonder if any experts out there can shed some light on this behaviour? Surely this is very unusual? Cracking photo!
