The children found this little over wintering newt in the garden today. Their reaction was so gentle and caring towards the tiny creature and it was wonderful to witness. What a lot of observations and suggestions they made! We found a safe and sheltered place for it to continue its slumbers until Spring. It may well be a Great crested newt, which is a protected species and can live for up to 15 years!\ud83e\udd8e<\/p>\n\n\n\n
