I don't know if you all know this already, but it's recommended that you should apply for a licence under the wildlife and countryside act if you intend to go 'torching' for crested newts:

I was told a while ago that torching licences will be freely issued. The only condition is that all sightings have to be recorded in an annual return (as with all licences).
