A newt!  Lucky you.  If you have one, you’ll have more. Take care with that spade.😳😊

Lovely @nigel16 
We have a wildlife thread on the forum - so you might want to share your pic on there too. Lots of lovely photos there as well.

She looks podgy round the middle, maybe full of eggs?

Its amazing where you find newts, the other week we removed some plastic sheeting from the ground and came across loads of teensy tiny newts who were happily living there (All now happily transferred to a safe place)
