If anybody's been wondering how I've been spending my Thursday nights lately...

Various animals of various sorts. #sheep #alpacas #newts #brown

A small brown newt which is a fifth of the size of someone's hand.

Three sheep in the middle of a walking track surrounded by lots of tasty grass and some bushes in the background.

A carpet moth on a wall. I guess it looks like someone's carpet. The wall is white/beige and the moth is brown/white, with its wings spread out.

Two recently shorn alpacas in the sun, one brown and one beige, as well as a brown alpaca in the shade.

#ThrowbackThursday #TBT A year ago today, I came across this unlikely duo at our heat pump while closing the chicken coop for the night. It was the first (and only) time I've spotted a #newt here. I think it's probably a female northern crested newt?

A close-up of a dark-coloured newt resting on jagged, grey slate rocks, its front foot delicately placed on the shell of a snail. The newt’s textured skin contrasts with the rough, layered slate, while patches of green moss and vegetation emerge at the bottom edge, adding a touch of natural colour to the otherwise monochrome scene.

My most recent collection!! All currently available!

You would wish that it wouldn't be necessary, but alas it seems it is. Thanks to @thewildlifetrusts for producing a report on the scale of impact of bats & newts on planning applications. Nature isn't the problem. https://www.wildlifetrusts.org/sites/default/files/2025-05/Planning%20on%20bats%20and%20newts%20-%20FullReport.pdf #nature #bats #newts #planning

Excellent signage at the towel hut at Lake Mohonk. There's a healthy population of eastern newts (Notophthalmus viridescens) at the beachfront and kids love to capture them in their buckets. #NewYork #NewPaltz #mohonk #lakes #art #salamanders #newts #nature

A newt stranded on the footpath alongside the Forth and Clyde Canal Glasgow that I can across on my run this morning. I moved it into the grass at the side, but at least two others I saw weren't so lucky. Not too sure if there's anything that can be done to prevent it, but it's quite a common occurence along this tow path.

Here's the Wiki-page for the smooth newt: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smooth_newt?wprov=sfla1 ❤️ #Newts

I was thrilled to come across this juvenile smooth newt(?) whilst turning over the soil to plant onions on my friend's allotment this afternoon! I didn't like to disturb it more than I had to, so forgot to turn it over to check for their characteristic belly spots ⚫🟠 #UKNewts #Newts #Kent #England

A small brown newt (3cm long) on freshly turned soil. I'm pretty sure it's a smooth, or common newt (Lissotriton vulgaris), but I've read that they can be hard to tell apart at this age.

Rough-skinned newts, tetrodotoxin, and why some PNW garter snakes are poisonous but not venomous:

Thought I'd try getting some photos of the #newts in the garden pond, and - while attempting to get my camera closer to the shy little amphibians without falling into said pond, the arthropods said hello again, with an absolutely massive hornet buzzing into view - which then landed on a lilypad and sipped daintly at the water...

Striped, green-brown head of a newt, with an eye looking towards the camera, peering out from under a lilypad in a garden pond.

A rather large brown and yellow hornet, wings a blur, caught flying above those sunlit lilypads.

Getting closer to landing, the hornet casting an obvious shadow...

I went back to that pond today, this time equipped with two tele lenses and polarisation filters. :awesome:

I also saw these #newts (Ichthyosaura alpestris). I like newts! Need to return to their pond with a better lens.

Today I did some 'pond dipping ': dragging a net through our tiny garden pond to see what's in there (as well as 100s of common frog tadpoles- see previous posts).
I fished out two newts and at first thought they were the usual smooth newts, also known as common newts, but it turns out they are palmate newts.
The 2 identifying features of this species are male has webbed rear feet and a spike on the end of his tail.
