Yes it is Prudence, a dozen of them! So I got no fish now but the newts are fantastic to watch, they are all lovey dovey right now!

The look on her face, so sweet! When I first put the pond in, Pru spend hours running round and round it, tail wagging, I had to leave her to it!

Noooo, she's hoping to see a fish, which sadly she won't. Not sure if she has really noticed the newts!
Am just sitting in the kitchen and the fox has walked by in daylight! Am waiting for some batteries and then I am going to wildlife cam the pond area and the badger set!
Been too tired come the evening to get my act together with the infrared cameras. Pity I can't see inside the pond in the dark....I tried!

its been hailing here ~ not so safe for a camera!

Big hail whilst I was at work, had to hide in a stable and let it pass!
The wildlife cams are totally weatherproof, just can't be submerged!

I tried floating a big glass vase in my pond, put my mobile in but difficult to hey hand in to take pic. I managed one image of a goldfish!

Just ordered an underwater camera for a song. Newt pics here I come! May have to invest in goggles and snorkel so I can see what I'm doing!

and if you make the pond bigger we could all come skuba diving!!!

my son got a special case for his existing camera to take photos underwater ~ it works well

I could see myself afloat, awash with newts and camera in hand!

You could get into one of those old diving suits.

I wish I could 'feed the newts' but can't think of a Newty kind of treat!
