@Rebecca - I think this is a Smooth Newt too. Take a look at my spotting of the Smooth Newt - http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/127...
I can't tell what kind of newt it is but according to wikipedia; to tell the difference between a smooth newt and a palmate newt you can look at the throat of the newt. If it's spotted then it's a smooth newt and if it's plain then it's a palmate. From a google image search I think the rarer, great crested newt has a brighter yellow underside but also a spotted throat. I found what I think is a palmate: http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/164...
We don't have salamanders here, I think it's a smooth newt but no 100% sure
Gorgeous spotting, some kind of newt or salamander, but im not familiar with the species in the uk
