Well as promised heres a couple of pics as I released him/her into the area at the edge of the pond. Also included a short video of the newt crawling under a rock

It looks like a female or juvenile crested newt .

Pete you do no its illegal to keep newts in captivity and also theres restrictions on handling or moving newts.

Thanks for that Darren. I have read things before about moving newts. I have only moved her just out from where I found her as I didn't think a life in erics water bowl would be anything nice. She was released as soon as she was found

Darren

what type is it meant to be illegal to keep?

..... i have 4 chinese/japanese fire-bellied newts, 2 adults and 2 babies

Darren is talking about native UK species.

And while I am back to this thread the newts have saved the day. A housing development which was due to be built down the road on a piece of waste ground has been over turned because of the large population of protected newt species in the near area. My weed field will live to see another day
