Smooth Newt

Me and the kids discovered a female Smooth Newt in the garden, under a pile of large stones which were not used for a wall I built. These are the only type to occur in Ireland. We have put the newt into the wildlife (fish-free) pond, where I hope she will start a colony. Haven't seen a newt since I was a kid and we used to get them in our garden & pond in Hornchurch, Essex so I was very excited. Create the environment in a garden and nature will do the rest.
