New(t) adventures part II


Willkommen zurück (welcome back) to the second installement of our newt adventures. As I told you on Friday, we went back to the ponds on Saturday to help scientists catch more newts. The weather was beautiful, the company was friendly and the newts gorgeous...




We had a few close encounters with those guys below...



I had never seen such a high density of leeches (some 1 foot long!!!) anywhere. Praise be to the Wellington boots and the waders as the day could have easily turned into a B horror movie without them.

There was even enough time to lie down in the grass and marvel at the blue skies...



A great day out. I hope some of you managed to enjoy the outdoors this weekend.
