    I get newts in my pond every year, I had to cut my skimmer basket last time to release their tails.
    Lovely creatures but I'd rather they didn't visit my pond.

    Found a dead newt in my Cetus sieve a couple of weeks ago, first time I've seen one near the pond, we've only ever had a couple of frogs previously
