Newts are back!

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! :-)

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

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.

Liar. If somebody said they had the loch ness monster in their pond, you
would say you have 2, and one of them is pregnant.

You are a liar.

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

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

What are summer ponds? :-) Mine contain water all year long (except the
temporary spring pond from runoff) and draw newts and frogs like crazy. The
toads showed up a few days ago so now they're also out there doing their
thing.

The book I have just calls them Spotted Salamanders so I guess technically
they're not newts.
