The Magnificent Mr Toad
I'm now not sure whether the newts below are great crested, I think they may be common newts. Any experts around? tresmegistes@gmail.com
Warning. Baby newts may not be able to breath in air. They develop the ability to take oxygen from air as they grow up. I suppose you can treat juveniles as fish! lol
Initially they take their oxygen from water.

In The Evening Leader today protesters in Johnstown trying to get the land fill closed down at Hafod Quarry. They have petitioned the EU and have been successful in getting them to look at their petition to close the landfill. Klaus has been sent for as he is an expert on newts that five lettered word that developers hate. Hafod quarry has great crested newts and so has Chester Rd, Penyffordd.
Should I invite him around for tea to see if we can get Chester Rd closed down. I have a pond full of them may be over 200. Perhaps my garden can become protected.
Of course to start off with we would have to have all the through traffic stopped to limit the chance of one of the newts getting run over.
Please note. The newts live in the pond of their own volition, they are not kept there. No fish are kept in the pond. Most frogs spawn is moved to another pond. The newts are left to their own devices. The adults newts photographed were found whilst moving rocks in the garden. Great care is taken to avoid any damage to the newts.
