Alpine newt and Palmate newt pics

[Thomas]

Hi,

I have searched a bit after european newts some time ago, and could take a few photos.

A big female of I. alpestris

 

 

I. alpestris male in a small and flat puddle of water.

L. helveticus female

 

 

 This pic were taken in a deeper trench, not sure if it’s a male of L. vulgaris or L helveticus.

 

A nice helveticus male in my hand…

 

 

…and in the small puddle.

 

Unknown tadpoles

 

Cheers,

Very nice indeed Thomas! Close to your home?

Not to far away Matt, a few minutes with the bus  🙂

Cool. 🙂 Am back in the UK for a while so planning to go and look for these species too.

Hi!

Some years ago some newts appeared in my small 1000 l biotope pond.

Meanwhile they have also occupied some of the buckets in which I breed live food.

Very rare I meet them even on the terrace, or in the garden.
