Whilst digging away on my new plot today I unearthed a newt who I guess was sleeping off the last of the winter. He was moving, but not lively, so I took a couple of pics, then moved him somewhere safe....hope he is okay.... ???
Anyone tell me what sort of newt he is - almost black body with silver white flecks and the brightest orange red belly. Only tiny, about the size of my little finger.
