Other NON tortoise images of things I find in my backyard

We have a pond full of newts, they were here when we moved into this house, we find babies all over the garden. Anyway there is one newt that we see from time to time in the pond that seems to be an abnormal color. Here it is. Anyone have any ideas on to why we have a yellow newt. It looks pregnant too.

Ecologist daughter is fascinated. She's muttering smooth newt but can't explain the colouration. Springwatch's twitter/facebook might be able to help... or your local wildlife trust

@Anyfoot I found this - it's a leucistic variant of one of the newt species

Cool, looks like we have a very rare yellow common newt.

It's hard to tell in these pictures but we had a family of around 15 turkeys wander through our yard. We don't have lizards or snakes, but man do we have turkeys
