Thanks Cynithia. The newts were out while it was still light and seemed to be enjoying the late sunshine.

There's something quite civilised about the crow there! Very polite. :wink: My garden sparrows refuse to use the bird bath provided and instead drink from a small bucket! :cheers:

That crow :D For some reason, an image of a western where the guy the black hat has walked into the bar and scattered all the other guests comes to mind! The newts are great too :smile:

Brendan, it was quite odd to see them so active in daylight. I usually have to work quite hard to see them. They're enjoying the warmer weather.

Cheers ZT :smile:

Vulpes, sometimes they can be utterly graceful. Not often, I admit; but just occasionally they are the most elegant of birds.

Thanks Lois. Unusual to get so many in shot at one go. I think there are bits of 6 of them in tehre somewhere. I haven't tried to count, but would reckon on a colony of over a hundred in the pond.

Adele, I know what you mean. It's the clay/sandy background. The crow could joint forces with the outlaw squirrel.
