Wakeham

Another disappointing day with gale force winds and thick cloud. Best today was the Robin and the pair of Chaffinches on the feeders.

This evening a Palmate Newt tried to get indoors, but was helped on its way back to the rockery. What an unusual sight for January.

A Palmate Newt which tried to get indoors before......

.......I lent a helping hand and returned it to the garden. According to the Froglife Website Here, "They don’t hibernate as such, and may take advantage of milder patches of weather to come out and forage".
