I was taking a few pictures of what I thought were water boatmen (in fact they were actually backswimmers) on the surface of the pond in Compton Park. Then I noticed a couple of small fish swimming near the surface of the water.
When I got the pictures home and looked at them on a bigger screen, it turned out that there weren’t any fish. Instead they were young newts, and different species of newts at that. One was a smooth newt, the other a palmate newt.
