Hi..

We drained our 800g pond this past weekend and
had to relocate several small frogs and about 25 newts!

This is why I've summer ponds - less work to do (I'm a
little bit lazy!).. :-)

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.

Hmm.., I'm not familiar with North American newts. Do you
have some pics or links? Thanks.
