A Smooth Newt I rescued this morning from hiding underneath a door. Good luck, small amphibian.

One of the ponds on the heath at The Lodge is full of Smooth Newts up to all sorts at the moment. You can look right in and watch them swimming around and even get reasonable photos. There seemed to be lots of chasing going on today...
