A survey one year found more than 30 newts on our site. They're a protected species, so take care to return to a pond if you find any. This year's Springwatch series has featured them again.

If you want to find out more, here's a link to their report a couple of years ago: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gfhHmrvIBnY

And this has background info on the kind of newt we host - the smooth or common newt: https://www.arc-trust.org/smooth-newt
