Great Crested Newts this morning. This amphibian is a protected species here in the UK that returns to breed in the same ponds every year. I have a survey licence for these (before anyone asks!). In #Bath #Somerset #UK.

My daughter spotted this Rough-Skinned #Newt a few years ago near the White Salmon River.

• "Newt? Now, don't move. Stay very still".

• "Okay."

• "We're almost there. Hang in there, okay?"
  •
  All shot practically using lighting, figures, miniature sets and foil for water.

My friend Mixo and his newt character conducting a forest orchestra a some fictional NES game.

Working within the limitations of NES hardware was challenging and fun. Have to put thought into palettes and using them effectively.

Ah, Triturus cristatus. Doing righteous work. No wonder they're a protected species.

"#Newts threaten #BorisJohnson’s plan to build swimming pool

"Creature railed against by ex-prime minister could thwart planning application for #Oxfordshire home...

"...As such, an unlimited fine and up to six months in prison could await anyone found guilty of disturbing the newt’s resting places and breeding sites, or taking their eggs..."

Red Eft (Spotted Orange Newt) in upstate #NewYork

Starts out with gills living in the water. Then metamorphoses into these cute little guys who run around in the leaf litter eating slugs and insects. Then after several years and possibly miles away from their natal pond, they morph again into adults who may never leave the water again!

I was going through some ancient stuff and found this thing that still makes me chuckle.

The good news: got out for a #mtb ride with the kid!
The bad news: “I'm not sure I like biking any more.” 😭😱

We did find an interesting blob of jelly in a recently dried water puddle. If you look close at the second one there's inhabitants!

Saw some “red eft” in #NewHampshire today! Apparently they are the juvenile state of the Eastern Newt.
They are very cute and were fine with close-up photography… but produce tetrodotoxin!!

Great Crested Newts and Palmate Newts this week in #Bath #Somerset #UK. Lots of both species in my local pond. Great Crested Newts are a protected species in the UK and Europe - I have a licence to survey for them.
