Four years ago some newts visited our summer ponds. They
multiplied and then left the ponds. The following winter was
long and hard. Next spring I watched out for the newts but
they didn't return! ;-( In that spring I remember our
neighbour beneath who has a flat piece of land built an own
big pond. And _he_ has newts - of course _my_ newts! ;-)

I once lost all my frogs (at least I assumed so at the time) to my
neighbor's pond. With her permission, I caught a few an brought them to my
pond. The rest was history. Now days I have to catch the croaking males so
as not to offend my neighbor. ( ~ jan
