Common Newt

Yesterday Embee was laying a few new patio slabs for my tubs of blueberry bushes to sit on and he had to lift some of the existing ones to level them. He suddenly called me as he had uncovered this tiny Newt (assuming that's what it is and I'm sure someone will put us right if it isn't)! We don't have a pond and there only seemed to be one so we are not quite sure how it came to find our garden. After taking a photo I did a bit of research and hiding under slabs is apparently quite common. Before you wonder we were very careful when we put the slab back so hopefully it will be alright as newts are a partially protected species due to the dwindling numbers here in the UK.
