Kevin the Newt Man

So we thought there was nothing in the Wilderness. But I went down to meet Kevin the Newt man (I think that actually is his name) It was so exciting!!
We found Newts, Toads and heard Tawny Owl calls and this was between 5 and 7 in the evening.
Even though we found newts the pond still needs work. It is not the right shape for the newts and the liner will disintegrate if it stays out in the sunlight.

It was so exciting being in the wilderness with someone who know what he was looking for. It is something I think all the kids as well parents at the school would love.

  1. I am slightly confused by the mismatch in size of the fornicating toads. Are they mating or is the little Mister Toad just hitching a lift on the much larger Mrs Toad? How do you know they are married? Please report back with what Kevin the Newt Man said?
