Moments before taking that leap of faith into the pond Marco Schwarz
at was heard opining:

Hi..

Yesterday in the afternoon I saw a male newt "dancing" in
the shallow water zone and this morning another one
(female?) eating a small earthworm! :-)

===============================
ALL RIGHT! :-))) We drained our 800g pond this past weekend and had to
relocate several small frogs and about 25 newts! All were those small
green ones with red spots. We didn't see any of their spawn. We also
sometimes see the rarer, larger black and yellow newt.
