I reckon it is Alice. It seemed very perplexed watching me tickle the chin of my pet frog next to the pond last night (hope both of them are not going to expect tickles every night... oh dear, what have I let myself in for? Are all wildlife lovers a bit crazy like me? It's ok, you don't have to answer that one!
Yes Laura, I thought an explanation was in order (I didn't want anyone to think I had a pet Newt). The Newt was still in the garden last night (I have tagged it on the leg with indelible - non toxic ink). It will be interesting to see how long it stays.
Thanks rat.tumour, I have been reading up on smooth newts since Lisa confirmed the ID. I will be writing about them tonight.
Oh right, I thought they were different all year round... still learning, thanks again.
Thank you so much LisaPowers, am I also correct in thinking it is female?
Incredible - it doesn't look real. Great shot.
Thanks Guys. Really sorry Alex, I completely forgot to right in the details. Will put that on 'to do' list for tomorrow.
In northern America, you may know this as the Asian Lady Beetle, but here in the UK it is called the Harlequin Ladybird.
