Jim Easterbrook<p>I've just seen Tiny 1 wooing Tiny 2 by waving his tail in front of her.<br><a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/Newt" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Newt</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/Garden" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Garden</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/Pond" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Pond</span></a></p>
Jim Easterbrook<p>Saw Tiny 1 again today, posing in shallow water over one of the plant pots. As soon as I fetched my camera he vamoosed into deeper water. Got a very blurry shot that's not worth publishing. He is definitely a male smooth newt (aka common newt) though.<br><a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/Newt" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Newt</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/Garden" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Garden</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/Pond" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Pond</span></a></p>

Jim Easterbrook<p>After not seeing Tiny 1 or Tiny 2 for a couple of days I've seen them both, and a 3rd newt, this afternoon. The 3rd one is smaller and a sandy colour.<br><a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/Newt" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Newt</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/Garden" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Garden</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/Pond" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Pond</span></a></p>
