Newts on the Allotment.

Newts are on the move making their way back to ponds, spotted this one at the Bottom End and moved it to safety near to the pond.
It looks like a male common newt or Smooth newt they are nocturnal and spend the day under logs large stones and in compost heaps, they stay in the ponds till late July adult newts shed their skin once a week.
