The Newt

July 25th, 2010

Callum and Gramps were cleaning out the fish pond this morning and we decided to get a bucket and see what pond life we could find.

We found Pond Skaters and a water bug (unidentified) and this Newt:

We were scooping the duck weed off the top of the pond when we found this newt caught in the net.

We both took turns in holding the newt so we could get a photograph of it.

I took the above two photographs and Callum took this one of me holding the newt:

We returned the Newt to the pond and the Pond Skaters while not forgetting the water bug (unidentified).

A good mornings work with Callum’s help cleaning the pond filter and getting rid the duck weed.

Callum assisted in writing this post.
