My OperaNewt Watch!

I went out to photograph the frog spawn tonight, but ended up concentrating on the newts which were showing more than a little interest in the arrival of large quantities of food!

There are more of the newts over on my other site.
Meanwhile, here's some more trail cam footage from last night. I re-positioned the camera to point down a little more. I suspect I missed a fair bit as several sequences were 'empty' (ie no fox). The last visit was after 4.00 in the morning. A black cat also showed up at around that time (but not included here).

The fox videos are also on my other site. And to cap it all I just looked out of the window to see a cat racing out of the garden and a fox standing tall on the pond surround (nowhere near the trail cam, and he was off before I could grab the still camera).
Camera note: all the newts were taken with the Sigma 105mm F2.8 EX DG macro and EM-140 DG ring flash, manually focused.
