Re: PESO - Lizard(s), passed on?
Yes. I learned something new, too. As far as I know, we have two different species of newts here, and they are both considered as endangered. It hadn't occurred to me that you might come across them at this particular location, although it has a couple of ponds which I think are artificial. On the other hand, I'd heard that they can be found in a certain area a couple of kilometres away... - Toralf On 11/04/17 18:52, Alan C wrote: Very interesting, Toralf. I have never seen one.
