My pond is teeming with newts - whenever I look, I can see at least a dozen without trying to hard, which probably means that the actual newt population is at least twice that much. Just a moment ago, three newts were locked together wrestling - at first we thought two newts were feeding on the third, but it then became apparent (after removing some blanket weed...) that all three had latched onto a dead worm.
Once again, the pond provides more excitement and entertainment than the television.
Here are a couple of pictures of one of 'my' newts. I had to use a polarising filter, hence the lack of contrast. This newt came up to the surface near me and posed... very considerate.
