We were cleaning out the pumps on our pond this week and came across
this -
http://www.topqualityfreeware.com/lizzie.html
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 !!

Yes - I'm sure it's a common newt now - I just love this, having
wildlife in the Garden !!
Thank you.

It isn't a Common Newt - it's not big enough - it's a Palmate.
