photograph taken early july.

doesnt look much does it?

yet in springtime this is a spring-fed breeding pond several feet deep on arable farmland in glos. i see good numbers of smooth and crested newts at that time and they have persisted for many years according to the farmer - despite the fact that it dries up completely every summer.

he said his sons often find the adults holed-up in the recesses built for water stopcocks during their terrestrial phase.

survival of the quickest (to metamorphose) i guess.
