Topic: What type of newt?
Hello Tim Hallett and Donny. At last I've had somebody recognise the newts - been trying for ages now. I was digging out a culvert next to an ornamental pond and uncovered them - very lucky I didn't have an accident with them! Don't worry, they have been returned to where they were found. I'm so glad that my mother has these in her garden - she also has a dewpond with numerous species of newts. Is there anything I can do to ensure that they and their habitat is protected for the future, and anything I can do now in the short term to ensure they are well looked after and breed successfully. Once again - many thanks and look forward to hearing from you. |

Topic: What type of newt?
Hello Will, Many thanks for the info - much appreciated. My mum has a large garden with a dewpond at one end, it usually dries out end of Aug begining Sep, so I assume the newts will move into the garden. I have been helping her with the garden and developed a wild area with logs etc for the newts and frogs. The dewpond doesn't have fish in it. Do I need to register the location of the great crested newts with anyone? |

Topic must be raised all the time, but I can't find an answer. Could anyone please identify these newts please. Came across them whilst gardening. Found 11 altogether in a small culvert
