We were cleaning out the pumps on our pond this week and came across
this -

It was about three inches long, nose to tip of tail, and played dead until
released into the water. We are presuming it's a common newty type thing,
but as we've only had the pond a couple of years we are wondering...
We now know there are a couple of these above at least, maybe more along
with a shedfull of frogs and countless tadpoles!

Thanks anybody that can help !!
