Is he p*ssed? Where the heck does that saying come from anyway? Does he stagger, talk sh*te and puke up on the sofa?

Or is that only me?

We do have a pond BW but I've never seen newts in there ( means nothing though) I'm assuming he/she is a smooth newt and is currently living in hte greenhouse under some seed trays full of dahlia tubers

He's lovely Nick, can't make my mind up from the I.D. guide off Birdie whether it's a smooth or palmate type, has it got a spotty throat? It does say on her link that they spend time out of water outside the breeding season & lurk in damp places, under logs etc. & that the palmate goes further from water than the smooth. Never knew that, they're a bit like frogs then spending time on land for some of the year. Great pic.!

I don't have a newt since I moved and had to leave my pond behind, but I did have a Kermit (frog) visit me in the back porch the other day. It's become a sort of good luck thing, because for the last several years, wherever I've lived, I've had a frog visitor indoors at least once a year (it's a bit scary when it's in your bedroom, though (OK it was a basement bedroom, but I've still not managed to work out how he/she got in there). This year's visitor was in the back porch (landlord calls it a conservatory) and was very kindly replaced in the shady border.

There were frogs on our allotment site & I decided to put a pond on ours and have been invaded I think they have kept the slugs down.
